Although I am partial to aspects of libertarianism - particularly the
non-economic, politics of personal liberty aspects - it is viewpoints like
Rafal's above, that make me glad that there is unlikely to ever be a
libertarian movement that achieves its aims in any kind of systematic way.
In other words, for once I am glad of a "movement" whose members are all
talk.

I'm aware that this is quite a pointed comment (for me, at least), but I
have to agree with Samantha that these pointless conversations have been
doing the rounds for 2+ decades now, never changed anything that I'm aware
of, and don't look set to change anything in the forseeable future.
