If you run into someone who says, "I'm a libertarian," how do you know if they're REALLY a libertarian? You just have to ask, "Do you support legalizing possession and distribution of child porn?" It's a surefire way of knowing, is this a real libertarian, or just a pretender? Because it seems to me, there are a lot of pretenders out there. The screening works the other way too. If people want to screen OUT any free-thinking persons who aren't afraid to speak their mind, they need only ask, "What are your views on legalizing possession and distribution of child porn?" I'm proud to say, I can pass the libertarian shibboleth. |
