Your enthusiasm for repression seems to exceed your semantic skills. To quote you:

"[Legalizing prostitution and lowering the age of consent are] coming if liberaltarianism [sic] and liberalism are defeated."

From your earlier posts, I take it would would prefer the defeat of libertarianism and liberalism...but why would that be if, according to you, they are what are keeping prostitution from being legalizeed and the age of consent lowered? You don't favor legal prostitution and a lowered age of consent, do you?

Also, I'm not sure what the statistics you cite mean. If 70% of all criminals in prison were high on drugs when they committed their crimes, maybe the police should favor drug use because high criminals act stupidly and get caught...and if people high on drugs commit 26-29% of all murders, that means sober people commit 71-74% of all murders. I'm not sure whom I should fear more. :-)

No, I oppose prostitution and drugs being legal. I also oppose adultery and sodomy being legal.

Libertarians should favor all four of those things being legal. Biblical principles say that all four should not be legal.
