Interesting, however, I suppose I was’t clear. I was stating that I doubt someone of a truly libertarian bent would sign on to a life-long commitment such as marriage. I don’t doubt that libertarians would sign on to a great many cohabitation related contracts, but I have dollars and donuts that such contracts would concern the division of property and assets at the end of the relationship and not the permanency of the relationship. In other words, it would have little or no semblance to marriage.

There are libertarians that want to get rid of the WOD, but who never would take drugs themselves.

There are libertarians who are against abortion because it would deny a person the right to life.

There are libertarians that would freely choose to focus on a few things (one business, one wife, one family) even though they would allow others to continuously change their choices throughout their lives.

This may not be a large percentage of self-described libertarians, but the few of them that there are are clearly in evidence here on FreeRepublic.
