QuotePhilip Seymour Hoffman was one of the most talented actors of his generation, a leading man without leading-man looks, an actor whose magnetism onscreen sprang from intelligence and fervor rather than appearance. But his self-inflicted death is yet another hallmark of the broken leftist culture that dominates Hollywood, enabling rather than preventing the loss of some of its greatest talents. Libertarianism becomes libertinism without a cultural force pushing back against the penchant for sin; Hollywood has no such cultural force. In fact, the Hollywood demand is for more self-abasement, less spirituality, less principle, less standards.
No one knows what sort of demons plagued Seymour Hoffman. But without a sound moral structure around those in Hollywood who have every financial and talent advantage, the path to destruction is far too easy.
The needle in Hoffman's arm didn't kill him. It was libertarianism.

...Soo...someone died, ergo libertarianism is evil...wtf, op?
Quick question: would he still have died if drugs were legal?
I think the controversy against Jared Padaleki is bogus. I tweeted this yesterday:
QuoteI'm with @jarpad. Any man's death is a loss, but drugs are stupid. It's NOT a disease. People won't get help if they're coddled.
Doesn't this qualify for "idiot extraordinaire"?
Nick Gillespie gives his critque here:

...and Ben Shapiro back tracks.
