The you first principle is that if you want to do something in the government then you should first try it out for yourself.
I believe that society should respect the rights of the individual and protect those rights. Society does not have the ability to determine what is moral or healthly for the individual.
Morality is derived from natural rights (no murder, no stealing, etc) and if those morals are recognized, most libertarians would agree that the government is acting within its bounds in determining an enforcable moral basis for society.
