Libertarians are often associated with such out-of-the-mainstream activities as drugs, gambling, prostitution, etc., because out-of-the-mainstream activities are the very things that intolerant mainstream types try to stamp out via coercion.

But according to the web site [min​gle2​.com](http://mingle2.com/blog-rating), the Cato@Liberty blog you’re reading right now would be rated PG by the motion picture industry. Evidently, the words “drugs” and “torture” kept us from getting that coveted G‑rating.

Good god, have we gone mainstream?
