That being said, I don't believe that a truly libertarian society can EVER exist. Because of this, laws have to be made by the majority to define what constitutes acceptable behavior in their group. The Civil Rights movement was a change in attitude by the majority of people. They had determined that segregation, in particular, and racism, in general, was unacceptable. Laws were passed to force those who did not hold such views to behave in a manner that the majority held as acceptable. Laws did not make people more tolerant or less racist. They simply forced civil BEHAVIOR on the MINORITY who held the belief that racism and segreation were ok. If the majority were of the opinion that racism was ok (as was the situation previously) then the laws would never have been passed and the status quo would have continued until that changed. This is how political movements make long-term changes. They CONVINCE enough people that their ideas have merit and thus become the majority. This is why Obamacare cost many Democrat representatives their jobs in Congress. Their stance on it was contrary to the will of the majority and the Independants rebelled. Convince first...then legislate... Any other path is doomed to failure." [/QB][/QUOTE]
