Anyway, I though you were a utilitarian...? I'm a libertarian with shades of conservatism added. For example, I'm not open to trade if it's with our adversaries who will exploit such trade to our disadvantage one day ultimately, as I suspect China is doing. You're assuming the government "should" intervene here and there whereas in fact many consider this illegitimate. Government should merely enforce the laws, and adjudicate as a neutral third party in the event of conflict among citizens, not behave as a service agency, parent, etc., which too many wish government to do.
