I find myself becoming more and more libertarian in my thinking. I just hate the government telling people what they can and can not do. I also hate the government telling organizations what they can and can not do. I have oft fallen into the trap of government intervention as acceptable in cases that I think are OK or moral or whatever.

I think the government nanny state is a product of power hungry politicians, people who expect life to be fair, and people who won't take responsibility for their own actions. The concept of victimless crime i find more and more reprehensible.

I will never visit a hooker, but why outlaw it? I won't do drugs, but shouldn't an adult have that option? I doubt I'll be selling a kidney any time soon, but it's my freakin' kidney and I should be allowed to do with it as I please.

Leave people to make choices even if they are potentially harmful. Government can intervene if if it becomes harmful to others. An adults need to take the responsibility and/or consequences for their actions without whining that the government isn't providing enough for them.

I'm quoting in full because I can't mojo you and this post rocks.
