So tired of "libertarianism."

Since government (in the abstract/general sense) is simply the instantiation of the social contract, it's not possible to hate government (in the abstract/general sense) without being a masochist or a sociopath. One can hate a certain government, absolutely -- but it's incumbent upon whoever CLAIMS to do so (it's in fact quite rare, though claims to it are common) to first understand that government, as well as his and all his fellow citizens' legitimate interest in it. That's no small task. Nor is it one that I've found many self-proclaimed "libertarians" to have successfully tackled.
