"A libertarian ... believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are NOT libertarians, regardless of what they may claim." - L. Neil Smith, libertarian patriot
"A drug is neither moral nor immoral - it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole" - Frank Zappa, libertarian patriot
