NO.. it is not the poor, the ignorant, the homeless, the stupid, the
retarted... who did these things.. it was the rich... the powerful..

Many people in the libertarian party would not have done these things.
However, it _is_ the poor, the ignorant, and the homeless who will never
vote for a libertarian. We live in a Democracy. In this type of
government, the politician who promises everything to the masses and will
make evil rich people pay usually gets the votes. In Californian, a
Republican is almost no different than a Democrat where I come from. Both
advocate a lot of state control over a person's life. Sometimes you have
some decent Republicans that are true conservatives, but not that many. So
basically, when you say it is these folks who did all these things...who
voted them in? Was it the homeless? The poor? The people on welfare? If
so, then indirectly they are responsible for the way the city turned out.
You get what you ask for.
