What is a Libertarian?

 

Just a quickie; The fantastic libertarian magician and juggler Penn Jillette describes it as “as far to the right as you can go on money, and as far to the left as you can go on sex”. I love that description, but I’ve come to use this phrase to describe libertarianism as I see it (in a way the ‘old guard’ could contextualise it):
