That is as obvious as that pope is catholic.  I do not understand why
anyone is taken seriously the libertarian/individualist claims.

To be a bona fide individualist who owes nothing to others, one must
accomplish by solely by oneself, without gratuitous assistance of others,
the following:
- be conceived
- be carried
- be deliverd, nurtured and raised
- be trained in usefull life tasks such as shitting in the potty instead of
the pants or using a language to formulate and communicate ideas
- be protected from extreme weather, the elements, and wild animals
- be trained in more usefull tasks such as obtaining food, clothing and
sheltehr on one's own
- take care of oneself when sick

Until that happens, there is no such a thing as a true
individualist/libertarian - just a bunch of free-riders and slackers who
refuse to pay their dues.
