Liberal or Libertarian?
Liberal or Libertarian? I have been called a liberal, and much worse. I think the government should not be involved in everything, and we have too many laws in some areas. For example, California years ago under Willie Brown's lead made legal all sex acts between consenting adults. The US Supreme Court just recently said Texas could not make criminal consenting homosexual sodomy in private, between adults. Just because something is not your thing or you find upsetting does not mean it should be illegal. Some tolerance of other's people strange behavior, especially if they do it in private, seems desirable. I would go farther and stop outlawing adults who want to get high, pay for sex, gamble or any other vice, so long as they do it without driving or harming others. If we stopped being hypocrites we could tax these activities, and pay for universal health care and educate the users. Now we just divert money to wasted prisons for non-violent offenders, the gangs and criminals who reap windfall profits from these "crimes". |

Great post. I agree with you. Did you know that the prisons are now becoming privatized..IE, big business..big money. Unfortunately, for our current administration, keeping drugs and certain sex acts illegal means more criminal behavior and more money. It sucs.

Even judges and law enforcement are questioning our priorites on vice crimes enforcement...
