Reply #29: i am a small-l libertarian

[mark414]

in the sense that i don't think the government should be allowed to spy on american citizens. and that the government has no role in the bedroom. and that every american has a guaranteed right to privacy. and that my body is mine alone and in that sense any medical decisions about it should be left solely up to me - which leads me to be 100% pro choice. i don't believe the government can tell people that they can't get married because they're not the opposite sex - again, the government does not belong in the bedroom. i don't believe that the government should be able to arrest people for possessing plants or other natural substances.

i support an extreme right to privacy and self-determination but realize that it's stupid and dangerous to pretend like we don't all live together in society, sharing a common experience and common fate for the decisions we make.

does this mean i'm nuts?

big-L Libertarians are crazy - they ignore reality. and unless they live in the wilderness and are completely self-sufficient and don't ever use anything that was created by the government they're fools.
