Ever seen a super-hero with Libertarian principles? Someone is in a dangerous situation and RandMan shows up to tell them they are super fucked because they didn't pay their fee last month so start pulling up those bootstraps.

3. aren't most superheroes libertarian?
Edited on Wed Sep-14-11 10:10 PM by provis99
Batman and Iron Man are right out of an Ayn Rand novel, the X-Men movies portray government as evil, the V for Vendetta guy is certainly an anti-government libertarian, heck any vigilante in a cape is a libertarian.

Are you being sarcastic?:shrug:

5. The problem is those characters care about others.
Libertarians don't.
