I think Galaxywest makes something of a good point though I'm not sure which 20% he believes may be wrong, especially when they require only common sense and flexibility??? That's what we believe people have, eh? As a long time supporter of the LP I have always held every single principle of the LP in high regard. The toughest one to get most people to accept is open borders. As only a state this one obviously won't be a problem. A side note: I just hope a bunch of reactionary Demopublicans don't decide to move in to the FSP just to thwart our every move. But my question is, are we going to try to stick exactly to Libertarian principles?
I, for one, am very much for this. I am not a libertarian I am a LIBERTARIAN, which means I believe that if I can (and I have!) drive home 1000 times above the dui level in state X without harming anyone it is nobody else's business. Should there be dui laws? I have seen several posts indicating some people believe there should be. I think not. However, as Dr. Mary Ruwart says in her book, Healing our World ONLY when others are hurt should the legal system come to life, i.e. with severe repercussions. Her book BTW shows a model for a far superior legal system where the victim is compensated (instead of ONLY punishing the criminal) thus making them no longer a victim. The criminal does this thru a "sentence of labor" or paying back monetarily to the person who was hurt. In the case of murder or manslaughter he works forever (part of the time) to pay the family who has lost a loved one. If he refuses he goes into a prison factory that supports itself by selling a product. Or his contract can be sold off for a cash settlement to another<<BTW, both the Constitution and Bible agree with this! Better still if you have insurance the insurance company pays you directly and the criminal pays back the insurance company! That way a victim isn't robbed twice, once by the criminal and again by paying taxes to support him in jail (where most criminals only learn to be more efficient/menacing criminals from the other inmates). I'd like to see her model of a legal sytem adopted.
