I'd also add that Libertarians seem to want government in a few things, mainly those bits of government that involve giving people stuff (as long as they don't take anything away, of course); while on the other hand, anarchists want *no government whatsoever*. > There is a Daniel Dennett article called "Giving Libertarians What > They Want", which uses "libertarian" in the sense "believer in > free will" (!) Do you have a reference? I'd love to grab it. Dennett can be amusingly infuriating. :^) ---------(( Christopher Reid Palmer : www.pconline.com/~reid/ ))--------- the characters i am, made into a word complete -- Meshuggah
