Libertarians want to thwart the right of people to decide what kind of a society they are to live in. They want to make mandatory the toleration of evil.

Libertarian would restrict the definition of "evil" to actions which directly harm others. Any wider definition becomes tyranny of the majority, whether the "evil" in question is gun ownership, pornographic or violent entertainment, non-marital sex, alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, or pork consumption, un-PC opinions, or refusing to pray five times a day facing Mecca.

"Most Americans are moving to the idea that drugs and guns are evil and should be prohibited. Encouraging one way of thinking supports the other because the logic of the arguments is the same."

Thus, we see the real face of evil. -- CJ's advocacy of socialistic prohibitionism.
