[QUOTE="onearmedman, post: 2092837, member: 454"] It's heartening to hear many of your responses here. Most of the time, I feel pretty isolated having Libertarian views. Maybe I'm not the only one who began, politically speaking, as a Republican. These days, I want nothing to do with the two parties. The gvt has no business requiring an adult to wear a seatbelt or a helmet. However, insurance companies should be free to adjust rates accordingly or void the policy. You go down, no helmet, it's on you. No seatbelt,same deal. That's personal responsibility tied to Liberty. You wanna get that medicinal MJ card? Blaze up! But don't whine when you lose/can't get a job. Don't expect to be eligible for any gvt assistance since you are unemployed. Don't file for SSDI just because you are using a gvt approved substance. You exercised your freedom and Liberty, but the responsibility for the consequences are still on you. "Marriage" is none of the gvt's biz either. Free, consenting adults, no problem. Homosexual, Polygamists, no problem. But, as one of you pointed out, freedom of association comes into play. Many crave their version of freedom and liberty, but don't want the responsibility that comes with it. [/QUOTE]
