At The San Francisco Chronicle, Stanford professor Keith Humphreys argues that those who would place the blame for drug problems on liberals and liberalism are looking in the wrong direction. A snippet:

Many conservative commentators attribute the city’s drug problems to its political liberalism, but this is incorrect. San Franciscans’ liberalism is why the government offers generous health and social care services, without which overdose deaths would be higher, not lower.

What bedevils the city instead is its libertarian, individualistic culture.

Methinks he has a point, as libertarianism is the philosophy of “Me! Me! Me!” and liberalism is the philosophy of “we’re all in this together.”
