These facts make his behavior far worse than simple unfaithfulness to his marital vows.
Is it OK to lie under oath, if you are only lying about sex?
If you are only lying about sex at work?
If you are only lying about sex at work with a subordinate?
Is it OK to lie under oath if it is about something else you think should be OK but some authority has a problem with? Like drug use? At work?
Somehow, when push comes to shove, I think libertarians will advocate for much more than drug legalization. I think they will want drug use to become a protected status and use governmental power to restrict the liberties of employers, insurance companies, and individuals in choosing not to hire drug users, choosing not to insure drug users (or charge them more), and choosing to require drug tests as a reasonable condition of voluntary association or business of any type.
A true libertarian would not restrict an employer's rights to test for drug use or make employment decisions based on drug use.
A true libertarian would not restrict a private school's rights to test for drug use or make admission and retention decisions based on drug use.
A true libertarian would not restrict a private insurer's rights to test for drug use or make coverage decisions based on drug use.
Are you really a true libertarian?

Logic - instead of honing my skills to catch redfish with artificials (hard heads rarely take compared to natural baits), let's do a study on what to throw that will deter them. Conclusion? Magnetized Hooks.
None of your fears are backed by any legitimate evidence, just like your arguments on legalizing pot.
Do any libertarians advocate eliminating age limits for the purchase of alcohol or tobacco?
Do any libertarians push to eliminate all breathalyzers and field tests for those that show evidence of alcohol intoxication?
Do any libertarians advocate decriminalizing marijuana and making it rampant and accessible to youths?
Do any libertarians support eliminating drug tests in industries where they are most needed? No, the only push is for drug tests that are accurate in determining safe levels that can prove drugs weren't done on the job, or in a time frame that proves the effects are hazardous. Anyone in the oilfield is susceptible to alcohol tests on site, and I don't hear anyone opposed to them. I've had random breathalyZers done for a crew of 100 and never thought of it as an infringement.
Get real mg, and leave your emotions at home where they belong.
