“For the life of me, I can’t figure why there aren’t a lot more libertarians.”
Because for some of us don’t like the idea of legalizing drugs, prostitution, and eliminating the military.
Eliminating the military? I don’t think libertarianism, is what you’re thinking of. Just about the only legitimate function of fedguv, from the libertarian standpoint, is defending the nation. As for drugs and prostitution, I can’t figure out why those items are necessary and sufficient for justifying the republic’s destruction in service of a strong, centralized federal govt. It certainly isn’t what the founders had in mind.
