I'm not debating the earlier points but I would like to say something about 'libertarian' Bootstrappers. I am fairly active in libertarian (almost exclusively with the small l) circles so I encounter several of the people, consistently. Almost without fail, they will all be very spoiled, very sheltered, young students (or aged versions thereof) who have been nothing but coddled their entire lives. It is relentlessly aggravating to be around them. When these people are added to the mindless Randians, libertarian functions can be hell.
For the record, though, we're not all terrible.
