I don't like the government, but still use the library. My point is libertarians are (typically) much more committed when it comes to principles.

It's one thing for a libertarian to use public roads - he has no choice if he wants to live. But voluntarily working for the government is actively supporting evil to a (real) libertarian. Unless they're attempting change from the inside, I don't expect you'd see it much. Yet Satoshi has government written all over his background.

Perhaps that's why the majority (all?) of politics are made up of unprincipled people.
