Why I am not a Libertarian

I'm only 2/3 of the way through this excellent Jane Galt post, but I can already say it articulates precisely why I'm pragmatically drawn to conservatism over more liberal (really libertarian) thinking. It's ostensibly about gay marriage, but you could, as Jane Galt suggests, apply her argument to many policy changes that claim to eschew social engineering, but end up doing dramatic "unintentional engineering" (oxymoron alert!) in the long term.

I've been reading AA posts occasionally for years (back when it was "Live from the WTC" if I recall), but it's to the blogroll with her now.
