As a non-American I have seen no end to the evidence on display that every single state in the USA believes itself a country unto itself. The fact that apparently states can just up and make laws that disagree with everyone else, just fucken because, is a good example. Oh, you aren't meant to beat people to death? gently caress you, we (Texas probably) have passed a law saying it's okay.

Oh, alcohol is legal? Not in this state buddy! Oh, even if it is this specific county is gonna say "gently caress you" and say it's illegal now.

Libertarians aren't that weird, they're just honest about the fact that they're doing what every single step in the American governing system is already doing. That is, I do what I want and no one else tells me what to do.
