10. What's interseting
I would go along with that, but would not describe myself as a Libertarian. The core of Libertarianism is to me an extreme version of individualism; everybody should take care of themselves, the government should not interfere in individuals lifes at all, and so on and so forth.

The thing is, I think individualism, by itself, does not lead to a strong stable society. We are all individuals, but we are all connected in a society. To deny that what I do or don't do has no effect on others is, in my mind, wrongheaded.

I favor a balance between respecting the rights of the individual while realizing the inter-connectedness of us all.
