Talk:Libertarian perspectives on the death penalty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why does this page even exist? Shouldn't it be folded into a page on libertarianism?

Ideally, yes. But the page on libertarianism would probably be about 70 pages long if we included all the subarticles (economic views, legal views, views on rights, anarcho-capitalism, minarchism, and views on intellectual property, Objectivism, privatizing natural resources, foreign policy, immigration and so on). As a compromise, the most important issues get a paragraph (or a bit more) and the less important ones get links to pages like this one with a sentence summarizing it in the main article. If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it, because this really isn't a perfect system. Dave (talk) 03:42, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
