Seavey writes to his fellow libertarians: "In an idealized right/left political world (which is not the one we live in, admittedly), the right has an obnoxious but short list of things it'd like to control -- basically, some aspects of sex (that are largely unpolicable anyway) -- while the terrifying, blandly totalitarian list of things the left would like to tax, regulate, or otherwise control is literally endless: There is simply no form of human behavior, from telecommunications to medicine to home-building to car manufacture to the use of food coloring, that the left does not see as benefiting from increased regulation. The left is where libertarian hopes, weak at the best of times, go to die. If readers want to do me a favor, in fact, vow never to speak sympathetically of the left in my presence ever again."
