Re: Sex, drugs, and libertarianism
I urge people to think carefully about issues of morality, ethics, free will, and the type of society we wish to have. People make choices every day. To use or not to use drugs is just another choice. --Tim May True. I agree that the war on drugs is useless, and that prohibiting prostitution is even more mindless. Still, the libertarian ideal seems even worse. Think about Thailand, where sex is bought and sold openly. The AIDs infection rate has gone from near zero to 2.5% in a couple of years, and promises to devastate the whole country. Burmese kids are sold into sex slavery. Is this the future? People make choices every day, but few people make INFORMED choices, and a lot of people, believe it or not, have very little choice. They are caught between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
