I've just heard about Hernando De Soto. He had an interview with Nick Gillespie, and I think I'm already a fanboy. Has anyone read his books?

The problem with a straight up Austren libertarian government is the distribution of the commons. In the past in democratic/republican societies the commons were taken by force, by the point of a gun so to speak. Morally taking things by force is theft. Will Durant claims that the smart people have always and will always end up with all of the valuable commons. He writes about the many times that it has happened in the past in "The Lessons of History" .
I would like to see a system of government that provides for equal access to the commons (land, sea and atmosphere and everything contained within) while at the same time allowing individuals to retain the product of their talents and effort and at the same time keeping their personal values and doing what they want to do when it isn’t causing physical or monetary harm to others.

Posted by SpikeTalonI kneel before no one. No gods, no masters, no control freaks. Screw the tyrants from both political extremes, and their agendas.
Posted by SpikeTalonNeither one of the extremes, and yet the best of both worlds...
Posted by SpikeTalonSubstitute the word liberals for progressives, and that would describe me as well. As for the conservative part, the socially/theocratic (aka, bible thumpers, mostly) ones in particular.
Posted by SpikeTalonIndividuality is a dirty word to the authoritarians (both left and right) in the world.
