An opportunity to understand libertarianism better...

Over at the Cato@Liberty blog, David Boaz links to a series of discussions and debates about "communitarianism" vs. libertarianism. He points to what I also see as persistent misunderstanding and misrepresentation about what libertarianism is. It astounds me, sometimes, the comments that come from people criticizing libertarianism -- comments that expose such a complete lack of understanding that it makes you wonder why they even felt qualified to speak on the topic... and if you think about that for a moment it makes you wonder what other subjects they might be commenting on without sufficient knowledge.
