[Age of Reason]

That is the essential philosophy of Nevada

What you don't understand is that political philosophies are not invented out of thin air.

They are invented as solutions to problems.

Stick your libertarian neighbors in a lifeboat with little room and even less food and water, and how long before they forget their philosophy?

Increase the population of your state, and that will bring with it changes too.

I am also aware of the history of Nevada.

I am aware that like people in a lifeboat, Nevadans had to ignore deceny by legalizing vices like prostitution, gambling, and divorce to survive.

Which is all part of the philosophy you ascribe to Nevada--that of taking advantage of people.

"I am aware that like people in a lifeboat, Nevadans had to ignore deceny by legalizing vices like prostitution, gambling, and divorce to survive."

Well, since those things are rampant (if illegal) in other states, why have meaningless prohibitions?

Fortunately, the people of Nevada apparently are not foolish enough to buy into your random presumption du jour. That you don't understand it just means that you are part of the problem.
