Entry: Yes, It's Early Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/yes_its_early#7146 Post contents: @ Adriana, "We have to pay more attention to the way our economic system punishes childbearing and childraising, and then decide whether or not we are going to get serious as to what a pro-natalist policy should be." Yep, another reason why "fusionism" between conservatives and libertarian cultists is doomed. Setting aside abortion, the Libertarian axiom of "thou shalt not aggress" doesn't offer the slightest protection for children against passive neglect, and most of all I mean neglect by their own parents. In the sophomoric fairy-tale world of Libertarianism it's dandy-as-candy to imagine a utopia where everyone is responsible for himself, but contrary to what Rousseau said, man is not "born free" but born in a condition of abject and long lasting impotence and absolute dependence.
