"Lets see, a laissez Faire economy means one without government interference on the behalf of any special interest group and yet..." ...private interference from the privatized police, agricultural, medical, housing, media, military, banking and retail industries will skew the economic leverage of the ruling class far more than any single government could.
"By staying informed and being active in the political process. The Constitution of the US is a meaningless document if the people themselves do not protect it by exercising their voting rights and even more importantly applying pressure to those in power to keep them in line."
Oh, good. Your response to the economic leverage issue of libertarianism is solved by being "informed" (oops private media nullifies that one) and "following the constitution" (so we don't want a laissez-faire system).
The solution to the libertarian problem is to follow the laws of the state. Makes great sense.
