Libertarians think Government shouldn't regulate anything so that should mean that my life should not be regulated. I should be able to pitch a tent on the beach and sleep there. I should be able to own horses and pigs and chickens in my back yard, even though it is too small, how dare the government tell me what to do eh?
It goes both ways.
I should be able sleep on public benches. I should be able to wash my clothes in the rivers. I should be able to prostitute my body, sell anything from my house, run a business from my house.....the list could go on and on.
If businesses aren't regulated and they are people then people's lives should not be regulated.
I'm being facetious of course but it gives a new perspective to the conversation.
