I would disagree with the characterization of libertarians as not having morals simply because they do not think the government should be involved in enforcing every moral issue by the power of the state. I would say in many instances that such use of the power of the state is attacking symptoms, not the problem. And it does not help stop the problem. We, as a people, as parents, friends, religious leaders, and civic leaders should be the ones resolving moral issues. If we fail to do so, we must not pretend that we are addressing the issue because we have passed a law against the act.

Wasn't talking about "every" Moral issue Don. Illegal drug usage where addicts are responsible for 70% of all violent crime!
