You mean the little "l" libertarians? The big "L" Libertarians from the party seem to only care about drug legalization and have utterly corrupted the roots of that party. They've become a joke. For some libertarians, the border of anarchy is not too far away. I have a friend who has started to say that he is more of an anarchist than a libertarian because he doesn't see a point for government at all. He gets way out there. Hates anything to do with politics and rails on any sort of government force, whether warranted or not. He fucking hates the police and thinks that they do far more harm than good. He really thinks that people could hold it all together without an actual system in place to settle disputes, no matter how loose that system is. It makes for interesting conversations.

Yeah.. See, that's where I get off the boat too.

And the drug thing? You have to accept no controls if you're a libertarian.

It's a default setting. Anyone who says otherwise is obviously something else. They're not a libertarian.

Not that I'm a drug warrior, mind you.. But it's a quick litmus test.
