Of Course It Should Be Legal! – LewRockwell

Posted by M. C. on June 25, 2019

The foundation of libertarianism is individual freedom. The individual should be free to make his or her own choices according to his or her own desires, as long as those choices don’t infringe on the rights of others. The most important and basic human rights, according to libertarianism, are life, liberty and property. Libertarians believe that these “natural rights” existed before and outside of any organized form of government [source: Boaz]. If left to themselves, libertarians argue, people will respect and protect these rights. Government doesn’t need to force or coerce us.

…Now, I am no libertine or hedonist. And neither do I smoke marijuana, eat magic mushrooms, or employ sex workers. I wouldn’t do any these things even if they were free and legal. But that doesn’t mean that I think the government should seek to prevent people from doing them and punish them if they do.

And here are thirty-five more things about which libertarians would say the same thing.

Of course selling beer that you brew at home should be legal!

Of course snorting coke should be legal!

Of course buying as much Sudafed as you want should be legal!

Of course selling one of your kidneys should be legal!

Of course ticket scalping should be legal!

Of course online gambling should be legal!

Of course the purchase of alcohol by adults under age 21 should be legal!

Of course businesses opening on Sunday should be legal!

Of course price gouging should be legal!

Of course businesses not having handicapped parking should be legal!

Of course discrimination in employment should be legal!

Of course businesses not having handicapped restrooms should be legal!

Of course owning a bump stock should be legal!

Of course a business selling alcohol at any time on Sunday should be legal!

Of course smoking crack should be legal!

Of course hiring a willing worker for less than the minimum wage should be legal!

Of course desecrating a flag that is your property should be legal!

Of course shooting up with heroin should be legal!

Of course businesses not paying overtime should be legal!

Of course having a garage sale without a permit should be legal!

Of course discrimination in rental housing should be legal!

Of course traveling to Cuba should be legal!

Of course popping ecstasy pills should be legal!

Of course cutting hair without a license should be legal!

Of course importing Cuban cigars should be legal!

Of course depositing more than $10,000 in cash your bank account should be legal!

Of course making crystal meth should be legal!

Of course blackmail should be legal!

Of course businesses not providing family leave should be legal!

Of course making more than six withdrawals from your savings account every month should be legal!

Of course allowing smoking in your restaurant should be legal!

Of course running a neighborhood blackjack game should be legal!

Of course prohibiting an employee from wearing a yarmulke or hijab should be legal!

Of course refusing to serve someone in your place of business should be legal!

Of course making moonshine should be legal!

These things should be legal because government shouldn’t be monitoring, regulating, controlling, or prohibiting peaceful, private, voluntary, consensual actions that don’t aggress against the personal or property rights of others. The only actions that should be illegal are those that aggress against the rights of others without their consent.

Be seeing you

Big Brother: Police Raid Home Of Man Who Posted Pictures Of His Mushroom Dinner On Facebook

Posted by M. C. on May 18, 2018

Cops desperate for a bust and to kick some ass. Truly pathetic. That is why you should never bring police into your life unless there is absolutely no other choice.

1984 is turning out to be a very long year.

by Tyler Durden

On May 11, a man named John Garrison posted a public photo on Facebook showing morel mushrooms he had gathered while foraging with his girlfriend Hope Deery, and wrote of his plans to “sautee them with brown sugar and cinnamon and see how that turns out.”

Garrison went on to claim that his original Facebook post about morel mushrooms, which are a legal and sought-after delicacy, led to a visit to his home hours later from law enforcement apparently investigating possible use of psychedelic mushrooms commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms.”… Read the rest of this entry »
