I'm not trying to troll you. I was just trying to better understand your positions. Serious!
ps "Anti-Swimmite" is a nod to the Seinfeld episode about dentists, just a little joke, sorry if it mad you angry.
I actually am a bit uncomfortable about the interstate system, while I understand that it increased the trade between the states, personally I think it gave an unfair advantage trade-wise to the cars and trucks.
It might have been a bad idea. Think how america would be today if instead of trucks being the main cargo hauling vehicle, trains were. We would in a lot better shape to face future economic problems due to peak oil if our train transportation had not be usurped by Ike's interstate highway system.
On the other hand, I love the superhighways, it makes it really easy for everyone to just get in a car and go places.
Unlike democrats or republicans, libertarians are a pretty diverse group so it's difficult to tell apriori what type you are.
