The only reason a young person is going to look into libertarianism is because he finds liberalism unsatisfying. Otherwise, he’d just go with the flow of everything he’s been taught in school and the culture. That person is going to be exposed to ideas that government is not always the solution, and is often the problem. That person is going to be far more likely to vote on the conservative side than the liberal side, particularly as he ages.
I haven’t heard any libertarians saying anything other than that they would have to pay for their own dope and condoms. Is there something specific to which you allude? I would be most interested to see that, and comment on it.
Yes you have, that they also would have to pay for their own partial birth abortions, for their own gay marriages, for their own gay adoptions and bus rides to the military enlistment depot, and to take a taxi across the border when the Border Patrol and INS have been shut down.

They’ve opposed the Catholic church, and believe that the Catholic church ought to be forced to pay for condoms and obamacare.
As for dope - they believe in legalization, with the concamitant support for ‘medicinal’ as paid for, also by Obamacare, etc. Basically, you’ll be paying as John Q Taxpayer for ‘medicinal dope’ that they can pick up in a dispensary and trip out.
But that of course is a libertarian position because handing out dope, condoms and pipes is less expensive than police officers.
