re: #380 KGxvi

I used to read Reason quite a bit too. They were/are always too dogmatic in their libertarianism (“why do barbers need professional licenses?”), but they were good on quite a few issues (like you said, police abuse and civil asset forfeiture - I forget where they came down exactly on Iraq).

In the age of Trump, I’ve a feeling that temporary and/or per issue alliances are going to be important. I’ve also a feel that our current political world might not be able to handle those anymore.

I imagine they were anti-Iraq. I too have read Reason before and I even met Matt Walsh of Reason since he was speaking on the failures of the drug war on campus at an event the GMU Students for Liberty put together. You make a good point about how many libertarians are way too dogmatic and also IMO detached from reality.
