I'm no republican, but the author has left his principle of "as long as it doesn't harm anyone" that he established earlier in this article.
Abortion kills another human being without any accusations, charges, courts, juries, peers, and brings a capital sentence upon a totally innocent American.
Anti-drugs is also born in the realization that drugs harm and kill people. Should a nation have laws that say that people are permitted to kill themselves? Absolutely not. That is too easy a manner to kill others with no investigation to determine if that had actually been the case. "Oh gee...she overdosed; said she wanted to end it all."
Obviously, I disagree with restricting all speech but 'death speech'. Liberals will rage on about 'hate speech', but that's just emotions. 'Death speech', on the other hand, is a threat against the life of another person. It cannot be ignored.
Gambling? Gambling should either be totally legal or totally illegal. If it's a matter of controlled venues by the state, then that's not 'free gambling'. Let Uncle Joe have his Saturday night poker game with real money. Leave him alone.
‘...as long as we don’t directly harm others.’
Im all good w/ unlimited freedoms as long as those exercising them could guarantee the above. For the dope heads here I say do your dope but can you tell me for a fact youll hurt no one in the process? I think its impossible. The abortionists certainly cant make that claim w/o involving pretzel ‘logic’. Clearly some restrictions are necessary. As a people we need to agree on those. However, we’ve elected lairs and swindlers to represent us in these matters. Thats where the problem arrises. We’ve delegated our authority to people bent on enslaving us. We we go along and allow it or something else?

Stossell is a libertarian, so his idea of freedom includes much of what the most hard left supports, such as abortion gay marriage, open borders, a homosexual military, and the usual.
If Stossel is shilling for the Liartarians here, then he’s doing the work of the rats.
