How should we try to shrink demand of anything awful, such as wanting to watch 'Dancing with the Stars'? With persuasion, rather than force. This may not be an easy task, as Americans have a long history of enjoying drugs.

As libertarians, we should obviously not use the force of government; but we have legitimate non-violent means to persuade people to stop doing whatever things we personally see as wrong: education, social boycotts, excommunication, etc.

Also, I think Doug Stanhope is somewhat right in his view of going after the "source" of the drug problem - meaning what makes people unhappy, bored, dull, etc. - and I think many of you will agree with me that if we had a truly free market and if we didn't have big government, with no limits on its power, making war on almost everything, that we would all be much more happy, prosperous, peaceful, and less desirous of taking drugs
