I’ll take the Constitution any day over mushy-headed libertarian “philosophy.”

The author claims:

The fundamental rule of logic is: there are no contradictions.
Nothing can both be and not be, no proposition can be both true and not true, no choice is both right and wrong, no act is both good and bad.

If so, there is a fundamental flaw in our Constitutions "republican form of government"; - wherein the States of the Union can enact laws that regulate/prohibit both individual behaviors, and the possession of 'dangerous items' of property, - in order to ensure that 'community standards' [the will of the majority] are followed.

Constitutionally enacted State regulations are "both good and bad." - They protect community standards while regulating an individuals liberty. - Not so?

Joe, libertarian philosophy is based on our constitution's principles.
If all our elected officials were forced to use those principles in writing & enforcing our regulatory laws, there would be no need for "mushy headed" name calling.
