      I did not know economics at the time. I also grew up in a conservative household but never understood the opposition to gay rights and legalized drugs.

      If you combine Econ 101 with American ideals of negative freedoms, libertatianism is what you get, and to be fair it sounds great on the surface. If you then turn a blind eye to all systemic issues that ruin that ideal of freedom/fairness you can even keep believing it!
