It disgusts me. Libertarians would legalize all drugs, but that doesn't mean we should actually use them. Libertarians would legalize prostitution but that doesn't mean we should actually partake of prostitutes.
I can understand why hedonists and libertines would be attracted to libertarianism; so that their debaucheries are legalized. But at its root, libertarianism is the most Christian of political philosophies: it is about non-coercion, like Christ instructed (also Buddha, Muhammed and the prophets and teachers of every other organized religion, btw).
So why does it seem like libertarians are only dregs and junkies? Why doesnt libertarianism attract more decent, self-disciplined people?
