As a sound indictment of the likes of Mike Huben, Friedman (Milton and David both) and many who identify themselves as libertarians. They start out from a preconceived social optimum that shall be achieved, it's fundamentally similar in those three cases (and most others, incidentally) and that optimum is the real goal. Milton Friedman's pseudo-liberalism, David D. Friedman's apparent anarchism, and Huben's monstrous ordo-liberal views are of a piece in that sense.

The problem, quite simply, is that liberty has absolutely nothing to do with what they believe in or advocate, it never has, and it never will.

Er...this is in response to Jorge, though by an error on my part it's not properly nested.
