Libertarianism is logical until the moment it touches reality and has to deal with running a society full of people with different desires and needs. It is a fantasy for the comfortable. It is a fig leaf for folks who want the low taxes and no social programs of the GOP, but also want to smoke weed and not be associated with all the knuckle draggers and bible thumpers the GOP need to gain power.

You dont need laws against poking bears with sticks because it's a bad market decision to do so, so eventually the practice will die out naturally.
