     Well I suppose the point that supporting the federalist position on an issue for any reason other than a purely strategic one is the wrong way to go applies to anyone, but I was specifically addressing that to other libertarians, continuing from my previous post.

To answer the question you kicked, Mechaman has the freedom to move to any state he chooses to live under a code of laws that best suits his beliefs. How is that not libertarian?

     It subordinates people to a collective, by suggesting they have to deal with its rules or leave. Granted the anarchical implications of that are unfeasible, but a more viable course of action would be to steadfastly & tirelessly campaign for a government that imposes paternalistic controls on neither social life nor economic life.
