One more quick thing about libertarianism before I leave for dinner. Many folks (myself included) are careful to distinguish themselves as "small-l libertarians". I do so becauseof major disagreements with the Libertarian Party (e.g. abortion, open borders, lack of organization to run a good campaign). So one can be a libertarian while not being a Libertarian, if you catch my drift.

So one can be a libertarian while not being a Libertarian, if you catch my drift. And would you also agree that one can be anti-drugs but not neccessarily in favor of gestapo methods? The problem I have with the "pro-druggie, anti-WoD" posters here is that their only mantra is legalize drugs and we will be better off while ignoring the problems that legalization would create. Upon being backed into a corner, MrLeroy admitted that hard drugs might have to be delivered via drug stores but TPaine has still not moved away from the position that "ecstasy should be available at the local pizza hut" (my words). Even so, MrLeRoy apparently wants no constraints on who could obtain ecstasy, etc., a position consistent with the LP and the lp as defined by tpaine.
