I doubt it comes as a surprise to any of you that I often receive e-mail in response to something I’ve written. Sometimes, people write to tell me they agree with me. I like those letters. Other people write to tell me that they disagree with me, and then proceed to tell me why. Believe it or not, I like those letters too because I usually learn something from them. Then there are those notes that are just deliberately nasty. The greatest joy I get from that kind of communication is summarily emptying it into my computer’s handy dandy electronic trash bin.
A fourth kind of communication is one I don’t much care for, but which I receive all too often. Those are the letters I get from Libertarians who tell me I’m not sufficiently Libertarian. On occasion, I’ve come out in favor of some law or another, and they chastise me for favoring any regulation at all. On several occasions, I’ve indicated support for of the designation of marijuana for medicinal use, and I get scolded for suggesting there should be any controls whatsoever on any kind of drug. When I mention voting, I’m criticized by some of the most libertarian of the Libertarians for implying that anyone should condone anyone having authority over anybody else.
