Libertarianism is really what built America. Life being lived, and society being built, by agreements between men with limited government influence. Sadly these ideas are out dated and no longer work due to the incredible power of corporations. When an agreement is made between a person and a corporation the humanity that gave libertarianism it's power (and human decency) was lost. Signing off on the iTunes or Facebook user agreements destroyed the handshake agreements made between people who live in your community. Society has scaled up so large that very little is built and agreed upon by people who live within 40 miles of you as it was in the building of America.
