Libertarianism seems to be in vogue. More and more wing-nut talking heads are claiming to be libertarian as a way to avoid the well-deserved sting of being labeled a Republican hack.

I was just sent this survey showing that there's a growing percentage of philosophers who subscribe to libertarianism now. Which is unfortunate. Fat Cat Republicans must be laughing themselves silly all the way to the bank, knowing that they finally found a way to dupe intellectuals into accepting economic positions that enable them to make the next big raping of the economy.
