US gov shutdown is life-or-death for some cancer patients, including children

…a libertarian society, where power is distributed…

How will distribution of power come about, without a certain amount of central control? Existing imbalances will only get worse, if such a thing is possible. Even if everyone started out equally, it would, in fact, only take a few bad apples to ruin an unregulated system.

…what many libertarians want, IMO, is for people to a the very least own what they advocate.

The people I’m talking about will not care what you, or society, wants, nor do they care about other people’s ideas regarding ethics, except for how they can take advantage of the naive. Like wolves in the fold.

Each situation will be different.

But the overall trend will be very, very predictable.

As far as the merits of one system of government over another, there never will be a perfect system as long as people are only human. Creating a free-for-all is certainly not the solution. Everyone must be held accountable, ultimately, to the very people they would control if any sort of equality is to be maintained.
