Jeepers, this thread seems to have spawned a PM life of its own. Cool. :)

re: You must be a libertarian, right?

I agree with their positions on many issues, especially those on individual liberty.

Thoreau said it very well, in Civil Disobedience:

"I heartily accept the motto,--"That government is best which governs
least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and
systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I
believe,--"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when
men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they
will have."

Deprofitizing (i.e. decriminalizing and controlling) drugs would clean up a lot of the drug related corruption that puts money in the hands of the few in third world countries like Mexico, and the violence related to protecting that profit.
