Libertarians and hair-trigger tweakers

The dangers of methamphetamine are not all hype. A conservative Boise State University lecturer and recovering libertarian tries to explain it for the freepers:

If meth addicts just made their own decisions--and didn't insist on imposing their moral decisions on others, I wouldn't much care...

...(W)hat makes meth dangerous is that it is a powerful stimulant, and seems to reduce the inhibitions that keep a lot of people from doing horrible things... I shudder to think what this society would be like if meth was as widely abused as alcohol.

The real world doesn't work as well as libertarian theorists would like. I suppose that we shall have to abolish the real world in preference to the theories.


(Cramer has something worthwhile to add to the discussion of meth, despite blogrolling Michelle Malkin)
