I am afraid experience teaches us that it doesn’t stay “in the home.”

Also, “in the home” are dependent children, and more rarely dependent elderly and handicapped, who aren’t ok with the adults having their private drug abuse “in the home.”

The differences between Conservatives and Libertarians on the social agenda (gay agenda, abortion, drugs, prostitution, pornography, public nudity/sex, etc.) are pretty clearly staked out and have been for decades. I didn’t just invent them.

You hold the Libertarian position. Own it. Don’t blame Conservatives for not being Libertarians. We aren’t pretending to be Libertarians.

I hold the pro-founders, Constitution, Declaration of Independence position, which in a number of respects is similar to some of the libertarian positions. I have no use for any form of statistism, whether from the left or right. I will defend freedom for all, even the unpopular. I am a strong advocate of not hindering any non-coercive behavior which does not threaten the safety of non-participants. Above all I believe in minding my own business. Though I do reserve the right to use my power of moral suasion to convince someone not to harm himself or herself. I will never condone using the LAW to regulate another person’s voluntary private behavior. And I will continue to hold people who DO want laws outlawing such behaviors accountable as lousy, vile statists. Any questions?
