1. No welfare, no hand outs
2. Not friggin likely. Incest is still out.
3. legal yes. But not free. let those who would destroy their lives do so. It is after all, a free country. You'd also have to foot your own medical bills resulting from your habits.
4. No war on terrorism unless we got hit first. Instead of stomping all over other countries, we send hunter-killers in to kill the terrorists. Letter of M&R worked with Barbary. You think oil would be a lesser incentive?
5. Put a bad drug on the market and those suing you for damages would OWN you.

Depends on perspective....

Please read their platform. If fact, it would be legal for a minor daughter to marry her adult father.

Sending the United States Navy and Marine Corps in were what finished off the Barbary Pirates. Letters of marque and reprisal would be useless in modern times. Any mercenaries out there who would be willing to work for plunder? I hear that Al Qaeda has cell phones and cars and everything. And heaven knows that your average mercenary is as well trained as a US Special Forces soldier.

Just millions of new "citizens" going around stealing your purse or robbing your house.

Uh, we have already been hit, multiple times and they have openly declared war on us.

How are you going to kill the terrorists when it is the "STATE" that is the terrorist without 'stomping all over their country?

Oh yeah, I forgot. Privatization of the court system. You get the best decision that money can buy! A plan Edwards would love!

[snip of Libertarian wish list] Depends on perspective....

Your list reminds me of the game where you start by saying "If I ruled the world, things would be different..."

Libertarianism in a nutshell is an agenda for social change accompanied by absolutely no practical idea of how to achieve it.
