I mean, if the world was all different, then everything would be a-okay!

That's the liberaltarian viewpoint in a nutshell.

Comic book fantasies dressed up in pseudo-rational doublespeak.

Would work fine if human nature was different, the laws of nature were different, the law of karma (i.e. cause and effect) were nullified.

I used to think stuff like that when I was a daily marijuana and hash smoker. I was a libertarian and didn't even know it!

The world is all different (though not in the way I suspect you meant). The key is to live in peaceful co-existance with those differences. That goal certainly isn't advanced by people like you who are always agitating for a fight.

If that's supposed to be some backhanded dig at my credibility, guess again. Unlike you, I've never used drugs of any kind (unless you count Tylenol).

See my post. There is an incredible inconsistancy when one would say it is ok for gays to act in their self-interest ie force their version of morality on the public, but it is not ok for conservatives to do the same. It says a lot about what libertarianism is really all about. It is the same old rebellion to traditional ideas that you find in the liberal sphere. Sure you find more moderate libertarians, but in general there is a basis for rejection of law, order, and traditional morality.
