Right now my daughter is 8 months old. I miss the hell out of her. She's in Vietnam with her mother for Tet. I will join them on February 29th. As my daughter grows up, I'll make all decisions regarding her medical care, nutrition, education, safety, and privacy. I'll teach her about freedom and liberty, and let her know the rules of my house.

Then why is the argument that the government can spy on you and limit your freedoms not a valid one? theyre only trying to protect you after all.
Radar, if you truly supported libertarianism, you would support it on all levels, from the UN to the federal to the state to the local to the PERSONAL level. THAT is what libertarianism and freedom is about, for me. It goes to ALL levels. You can't support absolute rule in one area, and no rule in another.

because the government is "my" servant and "I" am not a minor?

The government is your servant no more than your parents are. The government is that which tells you what to do.
And why should your being or not being a minor matter? Why do we deem it appropriate to deny a huge percentage of our people rights? or do human rights only apply conditionally... to those old enough to deserve them?

would you allow an 8 year old unlimited access to all the videos on youtube? (If so, please, get a vasectomy now). Would you allow your 10 year old to post pictures of themselves and a phone number on the walls of the sex offenders wing in the max security jail? or even the local Walmart? Would you think me a bad parent if I allowed my children to do that?

Wow really? So the first decision your "child" makes will be after she moves out of your home? I gotta believe I'm misreading this.

The 'job' of a parent is to nurture the new member of the human race they have chosen to spawn, providing them with the increasing knowledge, experience and self reliance so that when they eventually become a fully responsible member of society they are equipped to take on that role and be a personally fulfilled citizen. |

I make all decisions with regard to the safety and privacy of my children. It sucks for them, but I'm not in a popularity contest. This isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship. I decide what happens in my household for myself and my children. This is personal liberty and it does not deviate from libertarianism.

The first decision they get to make that I don't decide whether or not they get to make it, is when they move out.
I may allow them to make decisions, but I may not. The first decision they'll be able to make without my permission is when they move out.
