Radar, if you truly supported libertarianism, you would support it on all levels, from the UN to the federal to the state to the local to the PERSONAL level.
THAT is what libertarianism and freedom is about, for me.
It goes to ALL levels. You can't support absolute rule in one area, and no rule in another.

Libertarians do support freedom on all levels. I have the freedom to determine which rules will happen in my household. I have the freedom to use any surveillance I want in my house on any activities in my house.
I make all decisions with regard to the safety and privacy of my children. It sucks for them, but I'm not in a popularity contest. This isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship. I decide what happens in my household for myself and my children. This is personal liberty and it does not deviate from libertarianism.
