Robert Heinlein vs Ayn Rand for the core of Libertarian philosophy

[thewayne]

I've enjoyed Heinlein since I was a kid and was never able to get in to Rand regardless of who waved her at me. This article does a good job of explaining why Heinlein's brand of Libertarianism is probably truer to the Libertarian ethos, or at least as far as the author is concerned.

But you always have to remember the varying styles of Libertarianism, just like the varying types of Republicans and Democrats.
