Comments on Libertarianism
It may be disputed that the reality that the promotion of personal freedoms
to the excessive extent is sure to encourage irresponsible and dangerous behavior
on the part of individuals who practice. There is an abuse of this theory. Its
application is applied far too generously. Though it may be aspired for the
government to take on a hands-off approach towards the actions of its citizens, it
would jeopardize public safety, the primary rationale behind the existence of
government, its inherent police power. The government in this sense is to
regulate activity. There can be no such thing as perfect freedom.
