Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse, - Robert A. Heinlein

I think that describes me, too — still a democrat not because I love the Common People and not because I think democracy is so successful (look around you) but, because in a lifetime of thinking about it and learning all that I could, I haven't found any other political organization that worked as well. As for libertarian, I've been one all my life, a radical one. You might use the term "philosophical anarchist" or "autarchist" about me, but "libertarian" is easier to define and fits well enough.

In Wilson’s scale of evaluations breakfast rated just after life itself and ahead of the chance of immortality.
