The Sea Wasp (Ryk E. Spoor)

I also was a Libertarian, but only for about two months, back in the 1970s. Then I read Atlas Shrugged. It purged that shit like a triple dose of Ex-Lax; it was a better satire of Libertarianism than any actual satire of Libertarianism I've ever encountered.

Oddly, that's also what Nixon (for whom I worked in '68, in a very small way) and Reagan did to my seemingly innate tendency to conservatism* ... It appears there's no cure for belief in a lame political ideology than a clear understanding of how it might work out in reality.
