I’m no fan of big government and personally, I don’t care much if what I’m doing is ANNOYING people.

However, I do care if it’s harming them.

I guess I just don’t have it in me to be callous enough towards others to be a good libertarian.

Say, for the record, since libertarians think that individual rights trump all, if I feel like blowing away the person whose perfume is harming my health, that would OK right? I mean, why can’t I just go and do what I feel like and demand he get out of the way of my bullet?

My question still hasn’t been answered either. What if I come and pour some chemical agent in a room that sickens people that makes them end up requiring hospitalization or medical treatment? Would I not be charged with assault? How is someone else continuing to do something to me through perfume when they know, not the same?

Now you are getting the hang of this libertarian thing! I'm proud of you.

You don't have to use a 9mm Glock. Be smart. Ask a dude in your office armed with a more potent weapon to do your dirty work. He'll be happy to oblige. The offending woman will never touch perfume again. I promise.
