A great question and an even better suggestion

Fred Schwarz points out the inconsistency between the Libertine Left's attitude toward sex (especially among teenagers), and its attitude towards most of life's other vices (and for that matter most of life's economically useful activities). And then he suggests a possible way to get the Libertine Left to stop doing everything in its power to make it as easy as possible for teenaged kids to be as promiscuous as is practicable. Hey, it might actually work.

As my colleague Kevin Williamson wrote recently: “Why is the Left libertarian on sex but authoritarian on practically everything else?” Perhaps someone should point out to them that sex often leads to smoking.
