I don't see any logic or reason in this post at all. You are somehow melding the divergent positions held by libertarians and liberals, and then assigning the blame for those positions to libertarians. That's silly.

The point is abundantly logical. You would assume a vaccuum of philosophy...a perfect world approach, if you will. I understand the 'theory', but look at the facts, eg., tobacco and OxyContin.

The fact is, the door libertarians want to open, would open the door for an expanded government and more dependency programs...you just can't separate the two.
