Several related topics have come up in just the last couple days that I’d like to clarify my position on. People still seem to labor under the impression that libertarians, in general, should be opposed to government interference in just about anything. My last post about Orson Scott Card contained this quote from me:
“In Texas, where I live, the religious right successfully blocked legislation requiring that all girls get the HPV vaccine. That is uncivilized.”
To which Robert O asked:
“Wouldn’t that be a good thing, considering your otherwise libertarian leanings? Or perhaps I’m misunderstanding your point.”
