And you're expecting me to support an idea that you cannot even explain.

I'm asking you to realize that the state is immoral.

I scored 44.

"Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on."



Which is not true because I went from more hardcore Libertarian to being less Libertarian over time, although sympathetic to the principles of Libertarianism.

I'm fairly selective concerning the windmills at which I'll tilt, so when I choose to saddle up, I have a bit more patience than some of our more active libertarian posters

If you believe that the state is immoral, are you saying that you would rather support an immoral system instead of trying something different?

I only scored 150 so I apparently need more help too. I'm hoping HempHead can show me the way.

This is a statement that is on the same level as the first law of thermodynamics.

Yeah, I know. I don't even believe in universal morality. I think morality is all about preference. I'd prefer if people thought that the government committing acts of violence is a bad thing.

131-159 points: You are nearly a perfect libertarian, with a tiny number of blind spots. Think about them, then take the test over again. On the other hand, if you scored this high, you probably have a good libertarian objection to my suggested libertarian answer. :-)
I don't see an "answer key" so I can know which question I'm "wrong" on.

Well, I know I got 5 points off for answering no to the vigilante justice question but if you're advocating vigilante justice then you're just stooping down to the state's level, IMO ... unless it can be construed as some kind of defensive effort. Broad question.
