Well, yes. And actually, us libertarians were arguing for those policies before the "liberals" were. I've been arguing for an end to the War on drugs long before I came to AWRM, and that was a long time ago. Civil liberties? You bet, but then that's what the Bill of Rights were all about. (Incidentally, the "liberals" tend to be somewhat selective about which civil liberties their willing to grant us. As do the so-called "conservatives.") And just who gave the government the right to decide who people could marry? Shouldn't that right belong to the couple, their family, and their church? And yes, our immigration policies could use a little tweaking, too. wink

Now, if only the liberals would do away with the federal reserve and go back to gold and silver-backed currency, privatize our children's schools, end unconstitutional wars, drop gun control, abolish minimum wage laws, and bring back tar and feathers, we might get along.

Seriously, none of my ideas will appeal to everyone here. And I was actually quite surprised that I found any support here for this one. But I made you think, didn't I?
