Reason's reasons

One sign of a good political magazine is its willingness to say things that are worth saying but which many of its readers don't want to hear. By that standard, Reason, which I've criticized plenty in recent years, comes through well here: "Five Reasons Why Libertarians Shouldn't Hate Government." And a further indicator that the argument is valid lies in the inanity of the mostly negative comments (e.g., "Having a little government is like having a little slavery").
