My point is simply that getting all government out of our lives is going to make for shorter, more difficult, more hazardous lives. Government does do some very good things on our behalf.

It's interesting to listen to Ron Paul - he's very consistent in his thoughts, he's had years to reflect and hone them. However, listening to the son, Rand - well, although Rand thinks he's libertarian, and a strict anti-governmentalist, he's far more scattered than his father, even theocratic, even dictatorial, and remarkably inconsistent in his "anti-government" stance. The son is very reflective of alot of what I hear people espouse nowadays. Idealogic without much understanding.
