Exactly. If a libertarian legalization of drugs were to take place, there would be significant social problems until certain types of controls were imposed.

You can't just say that people should do what they want and then walk away. They become walking time bombs.

Those controls were already in place before drugs were made illegal in this country. Did you even read my post? I said, "Trust me, I don't refrain from drug abuse because certain drugs are illegal, nor would I start using them if they were legalized. Social opprobrium, a love for my family and my own body are what keep me from abusing myself with drugs. It has nothing to do with the laws passed by corrupted legislators."

Mugs, I think the vast majority of libertarian Christians are doing their best to make sense out of a world where moral consensus has gone out the window.

I did read your post. YOU try not to be irresponsible. At the same time, the consequences of the behavior of others endangers us all, and especially our little one.

There is a time and a place for considering and controlling those consequences.

My point: A libertarian cannot just say, "do what you like" and then walk away. Many act that way. Consequences to their own loved ones, however, will eventually bring them back to some form of social controls.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you...not everything is about you, and not everybody thinks the way you do. There are people who are restrained by questions of legality.
