" What makes me a libertarian is that the prospect of having that
reconfiguration done by the same system that managed to ban marijuana
while allowing tobacco, subsidize ethanol made from corn, and turn the
patent system into a form of legalized bludgeoning, makes me want to run
screaming into the night until I fall over from lack of oxygen. "
