Which rules beyond an age of consent would you put in place?

We all give up some freedoms to ensure a stable society, the big grey area is always how much is enough. I'm a fan of less government intervention, but I'm also good with laws that prohibit the like of you from screwing children.

you can be a Libertarian and still put limits on pedophilia, murder, etc. Sorry to burst your bubble. I'm guessing you bid a lot of trips to eastern Europe or Thailand?

Libertarians, believe in minimum government. A government that's there to protect against aggression or fraud while being minimally invasive to one's daily personal life. I kept thinking the author would use "Statists" and "Libertarian" interchangeably but he never did.
I'd like to hear the author's definition of a Statist in the context of financial markets because Totalitarians are also Statists.

"Statist" and "libertarian" are, for the purposes of this thread, essentially opposite terms. Using them interchangeably in this article would have rendered the article senseless.
The author generalized the dating "market" in economic terms and showed how it functions nicely without supervision from the state. He then asks why can't other markets also function smoothly without the hectoring and tutoring of agents of the state.

straw man
It would have taken you about 10 seconds to find that out on your own. Very lazy.

The age of consent should be up to each individual person. Age of consent isn't even the same country to country or even state to state. It is a arbitrary age that some clown comes up with. Is there a scientific study somewhere that has shown that x age is the optimal age for consent?
