I think the US's problem is it was a frontier state.  Frontier values are our problem.  If one didn't like submitting to what the community thought was its good, one could move further west.  A community works only if its members willingly submit to the common good -- Nazism worked and so did British socialism.   

So, I think the libertarians are retro.   


bc has accepted the social contract.


p.s. I curious how the Catholicism of the the other frontier states modified their development.
