63. Community is not subjective.
This is one of the major flaws in the (Big L) libertarian argument. Unless you live on an island somewhere and are completely 100% self sufficient, you belong to a community, whether you want to believe it or not. You benefit from being a member of that community, whether you want to believe that or not. Things that happen to other members of that community can and will have an effect on you.

A lot of your arguments don't even seem so much Big L as they do outright conservative, particularly your arguments about personal responsibility and the segregation bit.

I'm glad you vote Democratic. You're one of the few Libertarians I've ever heard that say that. Most will vote Repub if they vote for either of the big 2. But your beliefs as you posted them above don't mesh very well with most progressive ideals, and DU, for the most part, is a progressive board.
