Paul said "Libertarians want to remove ALL laws against consensual acts
including 100% of all laws against drugs."
Quite so. The rest of his post might make good argument, but the reason is
simply the essence of Libertarianism. That is, if what I do does not harm

is true for smoking cigarettes, or drinking beer, or shooting up, or
performing oral sex (which is a Class V Felony in VA).

If YOU voted for George Bush the Younger, YOU are personally responsible for
the deaths of 2408 American soldiers. Sleep Well.
Those who voted for George Bush the Younger are morally inferior to those
Germans who voted for Hitler.
