I’ve often wondered why Libertarians don’t move to countries that are more libertarian.

I've often wondered why people don't divorce their spouse when they have an issue they disagree on.

They do. Sometimes it's more than one issue...but sometimes it's just one.

Libertarians in my experience are as much a ******* as any Liberal.

Why? Drug addiction is their weakness...

Most of the research is to simplistic. When people talk of the American Dream they are not talking about the whole population. The United States has a large population of people that cannot amount to anything resembling the American dream due to mental inabilities.

No one ever wants to talk about this population and how to fix it because the conversations would invole a lot money and being honest. This has nothing to do with race, gender, religion, or ethnicity. What does that leave?

No, I have a very demanding public facing job and I try to be help but I am honest enough to realize some people’s career will not get past a fast food operation.

You on the other hand can keep running around this forum asking questions that you could easily answer if you tried using a search engine with efficiency.

The larger problem everyone ignores.

We vote left out of cultural choices, which sadly do include the fact that San Antonio has always been linked to drugs, prostitution, and God knows what else. Until 1941 we were bigger then Vegas for all that. Hence, de-stigmatizing drug users, lackluster law enforcement (it's bad for business) and a tendency as a sanctuary city to avoid cooperating with federal law enforcement and elect people who will resist. Civil disobedience and apathy for our Government leads to people naturally electing people who don't give enough of a damned. Then the crime rates go up, and people say "The world is fine..." while strange people walk out of their homes with their TV set.

Sometimes I wonder if you really present yourself in the same manner as you post on here. Do you walk into each and every room thinking that your IQ is higher than 99% of the others in the same room?
