		<description>The problem with libertarians is not one of reason but one of Hubris - often to the same level as a Neo-con.  Rothbard rules, and you are a heretic if you don&#039;t think his Ethics is better than Aquinas or Aristotle.  Others have said Ron Paul botched it because he wasn&#039;t 24/7 anti-war.  Others describe how anarchic society would work (e.g. arbitration agencies replacing courts) to greater detail than any socialist would micromanage the economy failing to see that human beings are too complex and often evil.

There is a contrarianism of humility - where you aren&#039;t enamored of your ideas so much to not be able to improve them and are always looking for and testing things to see if they are indeed better.  It is the refining to get pure gold out of the admixture.

There is the contrarianism of hubris - where everything which contradicts the specific utopian ideal must be picked apart and contradicted.  The new ideas are worse until proven better under unjust standards.  It is the worship of the brass although the tarnishing is obvious.

And the contradiction we must face.  We are attempting to create a &quot;works&quot; that will throw a monkeywrench into the   &quot;works&quot;.

And ultimately libertarianism will succeed when it lives by its own principles.  It says we shouldn&#039;t care about the baker other than the quality of the bread.  The doctor other than the quality of the care.  When we care more about liberty itself as an end, and ignore the quarrels we have with the others who desires are 95% identical however they come by them we will win (Jesus said to allow the non-disciples to use his name, and Paul rejoiced the gospel was being preached even if it was out of malice toward him).</description>
