LOL-You couldn't resist stirring the pot this morning, could you?

IMHO, libertarians are right in theory but the best form of government that exists in practice are the ones advocated by conservatives.

I believe Drew Carey summed up the libertarian point of view perfectly when he said (and I paraphrase) "Hey buddy, I don't care if you drop dead from smoking crack as long as I don't have to pay for it."

I agree with him in principle. I could not care less what someone else does. It's their business-I only grow concerned when the government reaches their hands into my pockets and takes food off my family's table or if my loved ones are endangered. Most crackheads can barely stand up and pose no risk. The problem is that you can't have streets full of crackheads like we had in NYC before Guiliani took over. One year later 99% of them were gone and NYC truly became a great place to work and play.

When we allow moral-liberal Hollywood to define our culture, so much for the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Most libertarians are not for public intoxication. I believe in the current laws against public intoxication on the local level.(I'm not even sure about legalizing crack or harder drugs than marijuana, because I don't know enough about the harder substances.)
