My problem with Penn Jillette's libertarian answer here is that when it
comes to things that affect people's lives, you can't just cross your
fingers and hope the free market sorts it out.Sometimes the free market
corrects things in a week.... and sometimes (especially when social
issues are at play) it takes decades. The LGBT community in Indiana
doesn't have 20 or 30 years to wait for your libertarian utopia to take
hold. Sometimes social attitudes change, and then the laws change to
match, but sometimes the laws have to reflect the "right thing" first,
in-spite of popular opinion. As the saying goes, you don't get to vote
on rights, that's why they're called rights.
