Libertarians ARE “left” on “social issues”, ie, they are libertines. They believe in no laws restricting individual behavior as long as that behavior doesn’t affect others.

Unfortunately, most “victimless” behaviors DO have an effect on others.

Personally, I think if we’d go about one generation where there were no “social programs” that alleviated the consequences for dumbass personal behaviorial decisions, there wouldn’t need to be any laws regarding those behaviors.

but it has nothing to do with what they say on economics!
I consider myself a reason.org and not a reason.com person.
