Since I'm procrastinating, I figured I'd answer those (no, I'm not a libertarian).Originally Posted by Aimless
Some more questions... what are libertarian takes on:
1. the rights and responsibilities of parents towards their children
2. the rights of children
3. the rights of physically and/or mentally disabled persons (apart from anecdotes about eg. this one handicapped guy who wrote books about computers)
4. establishing and maintaining a military force
5. the mission of that military force
??
1.Most libertarians accept that children aren't mentally developed enough to take care of themselves. Therefore, parents are meant to act in their children's best interests. A libertarian would resist having the government tell them how to bring up their child as long as they provide it with the necessities though.
2. See point 1.
3. Probably in same category as children.
4. Most libertarians support a minimal military force.
5. The goal of that military force is to repel foreign invasions, not anything more.
