I consider myself a libertarian. I love to mock hyper-legislation, mega-budgets, and weenier legislators. I also attended today's first private launch of a person into space. It was a spetacular moment and I was thrilled to be there. But I was sickened by the individuals present who chose to treat Scaled Composites' triumph as a political event. The emblem of this sub-current in the rather significant crowd was the sign reading "SpaceShipOne, Government Zero". I heard plenty of anti-government speech to go along with this fairly benign sign. I'm sad that people can't get out of politics long enough to enjoy this wonderful moment. And I'm mad that they chose someone else's moment of sweet victory to drag the whole thing down into the mud. Scaled Composites, YOU ROCK! Joyless libertarians, you suck.
