  1. Michael Merritt Legalization is what I mean. But I assume more than one are users themselves. And I cannot share your disdain for libertarians. Sure there are a bunch of wack-a-doos truthers and potheads out there among them, but they're not ALL like that. At the very least, it used to be a lot worse 10, 20 years ago. Though I was a bit enamored earlier on, it wasn't for lack of noticing that many of them too were trying to vie for purism, just like a lot of Republicans and Democrats were. But I'm not sure the extremists in any party automatically discounts ideas they might put forward. In that case, the socialists among the Democrats and the hardcore evangelicals among the Republicans do the same. That said, I do have some problems with some of the ideas, which is why I'm not a libertarian. For one, their fiscal ideology is too far to the right for me.
