re: Colbert talks about match fixing with guest Alexi Lalas

The idea of a libertarian society is great on paper. I agree with many of the social tenants of the Libertarian party. Having unlimited freedom sounds wonderful, but I feel as though human history has proven that we can't handle unlimited liberties.

It's like the polar opposite of communism in terms of its philosophy on governance, but similar in its very overly idealistic view of human nature.

The fundamental Enlightenment idea of government stems from the fact that we give up some of our liberties in return for protection in self-government. Some libertarians believe that the only protection the government should give to its is to defend our states' borders.

There's way too much stock put in protecting personal property in libertarian doctrines, and also way too much Social Darwinism.
