FYI - as the resident Iron Blogger Libertarian, I was challenged over the weekend by a challenger.   The Chairman's topic for us was rather broad -

Pursuit of Happiness

Our country was founded on the rights to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. So called 'victimless crimes', some say, make it illegal for many to 'pursue happiness'. Prostitution, drug use and gambling, three illicit activities in all but a few, rare circumstances, and yet alcohol will claim more lives in one year than all three combined. What should be legal? What should be illegal? Is victimless crime truly victimless, and where does one's right to pursue happiness end? Let us find out what our combatants have to say.

The Challenger's post is here.  He focuses on the harms of supposedly victimless crimes and extensively documents the Founding Father's efforts to legislate against such activities.

Of course, neither of us had the luxury of seeing each other's opening statements prior to the debate so there's some skew between his argument and mine.   In my case, because of the breadth of the Chairman's topic, I started my discussion by trying to cut some very large philosophic distinctions.   You can check out my post is here.
