Interesting discussion

over at the RI Forum about libertarianism.

As I am reading the thread, I feel like a spectator at a tennis match, turning my head this way and that, following the path of the ball. I used to think libertarianism had its positive aspects and was a good thing in general, but now I'm not so sure. The quality of the debate is such that I find myself nodding my head in agreement to the arguments from both camps. As with most questions in life, the answer seems to be a mix of "It depends", "Yes, but only as long as one doesn't take it to its extreme", "No, but there are other mitigating circumstances", etc. In short, nothing is black and white.
