That wasn't my argument at all;  I wasn't saying the current crop's  
not going far enough in applying libertarian principles;  I was  
saying they're not applying them *at all.*  The system characterized  
by "massive disbursements of tax revenues and government-borrowing by  
a thoroughly corrupt government-industrial oligarchy" needs a name  
--- but it's sure as shit not even remotely "libertarianism."
