Cheerful libertarianism?

[Citizen James]

The libertarian dillema


As we have a number of well versed and thought out libertarians here, I am wondering what you think of this article?   Does it make some good points, some erronious points, points of agreement or disagreement?

I thought it was an interesting article.  I'm curious what the other folks here think of it - particularly, but not exculsively, the libertarians.

First page:

Agree with pretty much everything he said. The last part does hold true - we can be safer and more free at the same time, and that's what we should be working towards. For instance, if the military gets a new toy that is effective at stopping our enemies from reaching us, that weapon need not be used against our own freedoms, it can be used against our enemies and only our enemies. By having such a defense, both our lives and our freedoms are better protected, so it's win-win.

I'll get to the other pages later, I haven't read them yet.
