Well, you’ve moved the goalpost here. I said sexually libertine areas tend to become nanny states. You said that was ridiculous. I cited some examples and asked you to cite some counter examples. You now respond by telling me the places I cited are doing well economically, which, of course, wasn’t the issue.

Madison was right when he said only a moral people will remain free. Europe is learning that the hard way as the EU leviathan state engulfs them. We’ll learn the hard way, too.

You’re correct on that — I didn’t keep my eye on the topic.

However, I maintain that libertines don’t necessarily create nanny states. I just don’t see the connection.
