The concept of Right and Left is a dying one especially in today's day and age. Many people have been taking an examination which determines Right, Left, or Libertarian and the majority of people [including the nation's youth] scored Libertarian. What has happened is that today's youth have seen through the machinations of the Left and Right.

While I do not expect to see a Libertarian World in my lifetime, the seeds are being planted and gradually watered. With this, there has to be a change of attitude in which people will want less government including a separation of Church and State, Education and State, and even Lifestyle and State.

The Left does not have a Heart or a Brain since they are fixated on the Marxist Class Struggle and in the process, many become richer than the average Right Winger. The Right talks about national sovereignty but actually sell themselves and their countries to the nearest bidder. The Left and Right are ideologies based on the need for a Paternal State Supervision. What happens when that fails?

Libertarianism means taking care of one self and being the masters of their destiny. Many people without knowing it has expressed Libertarian Tendencies. In the 1970's, Pinochet in Chile told the people of Chile: "You Must Take Destiny into your own hands" and privatized Social Security and Medicare in Chile [since both programs in public hands were a disaster]. In 1998, John Paul II visited Cuba and told the people of Cuba: "You Are Masters of Your Own Destiny".

What today's youth wants is freedom to determine their own destiny. They will struggle to find that freedom but eventually it will be in the Libertarian Party. If The Right and Left cannot stomach such an opinion, like the song by Cuban Band leader Roberto Faz [1920-1966]: "I Am Sorry".
