Re: Libertarian Party Press Release
[ QUOTE ]
The Libertarian philosophy is simple: live and let live. Each person should have the right to do as he pleases so long as he harms no one and doesn't limit others' freedom to do as they please; however, each person must also be responsible for the consequences of his own actions.

Actually, the very problem with the Libertarian Party is that they do NOT believe in live and let live. With the LP, it's "our way or the highway." No party that has a platform that spans multiple levels of government can claim "live and let live". If, for example, some local community wants to ban porn, and 95%+ of the residents support this, it's their business. When Libertarians say "no, you can't do that," they're very clearly not letting them live how they wish. Part of "live and let live" is that you can't force liberty on those who don't want it.
