"Anyone who would go on a national talk show { O'Reilly Factor} and say ; " yes I agree with that, Bill I think if a 10 year old boy wants to go to his local pharmacy, and purchase heroin, then shoot up, it's OK with me" IMHO is beneath contempt, and the Libertarian { just another name for anarchist} LOONIES wonder why they are the 1% nut jobs of American politics."


Sorry, there is NO WAY Harry Browne said this. You're either paraphrasing, misquoting, or outright lying. Harry was about personal responsibility yes, but personal responsibility by ADULTS. You remember the quote wrongly. He said, in effect, that up until the 1950's, Americans, even a 10 year old boy, could go to the pharmacy and purchase heroin for his mother as a headache powder. His point was that drug problems came on when they were outlawed. Your attempt to besmirch a great American's name is disgusting. Get your story straight or keep your trap shut.

The quote can be found in the O'Reilly book " The Spin Factor" or better yet you can purchase the video from Fox, tell them it was the Browne interview show from 2000.
