Nope, conservative, in that I recognize the fact that human nature, being what it is, is to go in the opposite direction of liberty without accountability. If the opposite were true, there would be no need for laws of any kind. That is the missing element in the libertarian philosophy, they always assume that human beings are, as a species, rugged individualists and that is just not the case.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. In what way does the drug policy you describe differ from the libertarian drug policy?

In what way does the drug policy you describe differ from the libertarian drug policy?

There is no "libertarian" drug policy there is a libertarian stance on what that policy should be. The drug policy the libertarians espouse can never be implemented in this country without inevitably becoming a liberal playground of drug treatment and victimization. The drug issue is just a minute example of why the libertarian "solution" to governing would end with a liberal outcome. The only way to have a libertarian society is to put into place a rigid "social Darwinism" that once in effect would cause a massive backlash.
