    Why would you want to stop them?

    What is so wrong with people wanting autonomy and autodetermination in their lives. Libertarians want nothing from anyone, they simply want laissez-faire economics, free trade, civil liberties, sound money, and individualism over collectivism. We don't try to push our political ideologies unto anyone, so why is the status quo so insistent in pushing their political ideologies and ideas of morality unto us?

    Why would ANYONE object to Libertarians forming a sovereign state where all of their ideals can be played out for the world to see if they are in fact viable, since the mainstream in America seems unwilling to allow for such insane concepts as free trade, money that is actually backed by a tangible good, individualism, the ability of any person to put any substance they wish into their bodies, and the ability to own any firearm regardless of how scary it looks or how many rounds of ammunition it holds.

    It is actually kind of astonishing, that a board full of people who use a substance and live a lifestyle which is socially ostracized in our mainstream society, would not be on board with this. It would seem to me that these ideals would resonate with this community, rather then be objectified here.

    I don't think that it is so much that people here are opposed to it. It is more that something like this will not work. Whether it be by our government regulating it or that amongst themselves would have too many different views and opinions on matters and their "free thinking" society would collapse.

    I see nothing wrong with it. I just think the good ole USA government would have a problem with it
