Does anyone really have any concept of Libertarians other than they are just “Republicans who like to smoke pot”?> Yes, anyone who pays attention (to more than what they hear in the popular media) know there are many differences between Libertarians and Republicans, and many differences between Greens and Democrats. <BTW.

There used to be one in Hot Springs where patrons could shoot up old cars, refrigerators, etc. Out in the Las Vegas area I believe there are similar things, and even one where you go shooting with topless models.

XD Though shooting at tvs isn't exactly the most intelligent thing in the world; there are chemicals in those that aren't exactly great for the environment, and what about all the broken glass? All in all, it's pretty funny. Sounds like the police were more concerned about the litter as well. Sounds like fun.

I'm no political sci-maven, but the best brief shorthand not-perfect-but-good-enough-for-casual-conversation description of Libertarianism I've encountered talks about them being the group that combines the support of small government and fiscal responsibility that one might typically associate with the Republican/right wing side of the aise with the ideas of personal liberties and individual rights & responsibilities that one might typically associate with the Democratic/left wing. That said, even in my lifetime, I've seen how these typical party beliefs have shifted a bit so as no longer to be as firmly associated with either the Dems or the G.O.P. as perhaps once they were. So perhaps that's not as fair or useful way to describe Libertarianism as once it was... All that aside, there's always the famous political quiz that many a Libertarian likes to trot out: http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html > Does anyone really have any concept of Libertarians other than
