Another big chink in the L-ism armour, as far as I'm concerned.

Radar is extreme, yes, but I hope he doesn't turn all of you away from the general goals of all the moderate Libertarians out there (many of whom don't even know there's a word for what they feel about the government.) No, most of us don't think there's a need for a bloody revolution, or a complete and total removal of all income taxes and social programs--but seriously, do any of you think the government doesn't need to take at least three big steps back out of our lives? I feel we could certainly stand to have a smaller government, which is different from a complete stripping of it as Radar proposes.

A lot of Libertarian desires are perfectly reasonable. Don't let the logical extreme of any position keep you from examining it in a more realistic (moderate) setting.
