   Who are these "libertarianism" of whom you speak? Apparently, you've   
   never even seen a photo of The Statue of Liberty. Wait! What?   
      
   America was built on libertarian principles. Liberty is a basic human   
   right, inalienable truth. There I've said it again. Next.

   What are these "universal laws" that don't need to be written down? Laws   
   and ethics, that everyone already knows, without reading them in grade   
   school, or up on a stele in downtown Babylon?
