Quote by Tom G. Palmer
Libertarians argue that no normal adult has the right to impose choices on other normal adults, except in abnormal circumstances, such as when one person finds another unconscious and administers medical assistance or calls an ambulance.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the principle of non-interference that libertarians uphold. It stipulates that, under normal circumstances, one individual should not have the authority to impose their choices or preferences on another individual. Exceptions to this exist only in extraordinary situations where immediate action is necessary to save someone's life or wellbeing, such as providing medical assistance to an unconscious individual. The quote implies that individual autonomy and voluntary interactions are fundamental to libertarian ideology, promoting personal freedom and limited government intervention.
