Score one for the Libertarian viewpoint (on the theoritical level, at least).

  How is Larry's viewpoint necessarily Libertarian?  Libertarians

I'm making the jump that this would not be an issue under Libertarian
non-government schools.  We'd have a bunch of scientific morons in the
Creationist schools, which is why I say on the theoritical level.  You are
correct in my estimation that good science et al is not a Libertarian monopoly.
