Libertarianism is neither of the left nor of the right. It is unique. It is sui generis. It is apart from left and right. The left right political spectrum simply has no room for libertarianism. Think of an equilateral triangle, with libertarianism at one corner, the left at a second corner and the right at the third corner.

He leaves the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys and glories of creation.
