| Walked in swamp with water as high as my chest, teeming with alligators and cottonmouths. Seen the ghost orchid. On a river in northern Quebec I saw a cow caribou with her calf.

| I think the key here with libertarianism is deciding what you want the government to do and not to do. Too much of either is going to be a bad thing So basic services including health and transport yes Interfering and micro managing no I'm not so sure about health and transport, they cost too much ... |
