I am a Libertarian and my views pretty much fall in line with the party. So, I will be looking at each issue on their platform and then adding my two cents:
Personal Liberty
Individuals should be free to make choices for themselves and to accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make. No individual, group, or government may initiate force against any other individual, group, or government. Our support of an individual's right to make choices in life does not mean that we necessarily approve or disapprove of those choices.
My Viewpoint
I agree with this. I am not a very religious purpose, but I do believe that humans were given Free Will. If an individual wants to drink, use drugs, etc. then that is their personal choice, and should not be prevented from doing so. However, since these things are WANTS and not NEEDS, then they should be taxed. The government should only step in when one person's personal liberty is infringed upon by another's.
