    “Government that governs least governs best”. Libertarian  communities   
   are cooperative not exploitative. Libertarians believe society is composed of   
   individuals who interact with others voluntarily not coercively. The ‘social   
   contract’ is    
   threatened by authoritarian governments. Government has expanded to regulate   
   most aspects of our lives.   
      
   There is an essential difference between force and power. Laws steal choices .   
   They prohibit and limit choices for some people and make you obey someone   
   else’s choices. It’s like being told where to sit on the bus. Laws make   
   you do things you would    
   not want to do if you were free. Was it meant to be this way? What can be more   
   valuable than choice? What do you have when you have no choice?   
      
   Libertarians recognize the original insight of the Constituion has been   
   steadily eroded to subordinate the individual to serve other individuals via   
   government police powers. Libertarians seek to reduce the coersive nature of   
   government and peacefully    
   resist forced obedience.
