That is too simplistic, because the real core of Libertarians is "don't tell people what to do." Sorry, my response was a sloppy clip. Of course it's: people can do whatever they want as long as they don't hurt anybody else or take their stuff. And from there you can see why smoking doesn't cause cancer, evolution is a hoax, and burning fossil fuels can't cause trouble, and guns don't kill people. Because Libertarians can't come to grips with how individual freedom intersects with society. No, can't see that. Not even close. If you have some logical steps to get from A to B, I will consider them. My imagine cannot conjure up a path. Your list is either a bunch of rationalizations for folks with either cognitive dissonance or an agenda. Do you think that in some cases there are definitive answers to questions that impact society as a whole, and that such answers might suggest society wide responses to those issues, that would include restricting individual behaviors? Sure. But any restriction should be with the very lightest possible hand. RFRA us a good example of the lightest possible hand.
