The following is a portion of a profile from Facebook of a person with whom I used to work and who will remain anonymous (unless you ask me real nice). I think the stated Political Views speaks to libertarian thought, or lack thereof, in the US in general.

Damn kids today get to turn to Wikipedia for an answer to every dumb question they have. When I was a kid, we didn't have Wikipedia. No... We had to walk to the library and look up the answers to questions we had in an ENCYCLOPEDIA.
