Re your concerns about US global domination

Come on now, enough with the hyperbole. The US has been a superpower for 60 years, the beginning of which was marked with rebuilding Europe and Japan insead of enjoying the spoils of war, then turned to creating international organizations like NATO and the UN as a response to Soviet expansion, and then worked to clean up hotspots like Yugoslavia, Kuwait, and Bosnia.

I can't say I approve every US action in that span of time (particularly in South America and Southeast Asia), but the basis of comparison is the Europeans. This is a group of people who, when they had the power to, raped and pillaged the rest of the planet for 500 years, before just about destroying themselves in two wars. Now suddenly they're the moral compass for the rest of the planet?

Required education is one place I agree with government, even if the only thing they can do amounts to daycare for eight hours out of the day, dumb kids at least learn SOMETHING.

You are a douche of a troll, >>25.

Libertarians would never be able to make the immediate and radical changed they want to make.  That would probably be harmful; I think the best they can do (and this is ideal in my opionion) is a partial and gradual change.

Most of the smartest people in the US are libertarian, I've noticed.
