“After all - who needs free elections with popular votes by citizens making their wishes known?”

So any and all private personal actions should be subject to popular vote? Wow, that would lead to true freedom and liberty, right?

BTW, libertarians are hardly the same as liberals. Modern American conservatism and libertarianism count the will of the individual to be primary and recognize that any other standard eventually leads to collectivism.

We are not talking about a private personal action. We are talking about a County and its decision to go wet or dry. Even dry counties have allowances for people to drink. So stay on topic, OK?

Wrong. You know there is a huge disconnect between conservatives and libertaians. And the biggest is our moral superiority over social liberals. Your boy Ron Paul is a prime example of how liberaltarians are failures.
