There once was an aquarium, in which swam a liberal fish, a conservative fish and a libertarian fish. The water started to get bad because the water filter needed fresh charchol. The liberal fish said, "We must work together to put fresh charchol in the water filter or all the fish in the aquarium will die." The conservative fish said, "All of us 'working together' is collectivism and smacks of socialism. However, if we get the fresh charchol exclusively from my friend's charchol company (and he gives me a kickback), I will support putting fresh charchol in the water filter." The libertarian fish said, "The water filter is an unconstitutional intrusion by big government in our lives and is an attack on our personal liberties! Every fish for himself! Live free (without big government water filters) or die!"
