We've had this discussion many times before on this list. People who know nothing about Libertarians see a word which appears to share the first few letters with "Liberty", and leap to the obvious but incorrect conclusion. Not only are real Libertarians not cuddly and likable, they are not even liked by other Libertarians. > It correctly said that troops should not be blamed for politicians' > choices, but it pointedly declined to say: "This is an unjust war. Libertarians and Unitarians have a lot in common. There are plenty of jokes about the moral wishy-washiness of Unitarians, such as the one about them living by "The Ten Suggestions," or the one about a Unitarian hate crime consisting of burning a question mark on someone's lawn.
