Entry: The Relativist Roots of Libertarianism Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_relativist_roots_of_libertarianism#25563 Post contents: Using the drug war is a bad example. The issue in the "drug war" is not legalization, but decriminalization. Nobody wants to legalize drugs, they want to decriminalize it. From a practical standpoint, the drug war has been as counterproductive as prohibition. We don't treat drunks as criminals, so neither should we treat those with a psychological dependence on cocaine or maryjane as criminals. It has nothing to do with libertarianism vs conservativism.
