Joe isn’t someone I usually think of as a libertarian. But I think every American, no matter what their politics has a libertarian strain. While Joe doesn’t like the idea of hard drugs being legalized, especially because he doesn’t like the idea of having to pay for their health care or to subsidize their decline, he also sees the futility of prohibitions. In addition, he is extremely opposed to the left’s fascistic tendencies. So if it comes down to a choice between liberty and governmental control, Joe is always on the side of liberty.
