Re: [OT] Nation bashing
The Libertarians I've met are against anything not specifically included in the Constitution for the federal government, and much of that is extended to the state governments, too. They feel the government shouldn't be involved in any attempt to protect its citizens from themselves/each other (i.e., drivers licenses, building codes, etc.).
I greatly prefer personal responsibility to government responsibility, but some issues (such as required testing to get a driver's license) are the exception to the rule. Of course, with pop culture de-emphasizing personal responsibility (IOW, pushing victimhood), government is filling in the gaps.
