          Derived from the Middle English libertyn meaning freedman, which came from the Latin root liber, which means liberty. [Libertine] was a derogatory term which referred to someone who was a free-thinker or [non-believer]. Until the 19th Century, atheists or [agnostics] were considered [beyond the pale] of reasonable or civilized people. The term was extended to describe people who lacked moral self-restraint. Being a [libertine] was associated with living as an animal or an uncivilized person. John Stuart [Mills] [dictum], Better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied applies as a condemnation of the libertine.
          Many contemporary libertarians miss crucial moral distinctions and have fallen into perverting the Liberty Principle into a Libertine Principle. Contemporary liberals (social democrats and socialists, not classical liberals) have fallen into the same moral nihilism falsely believing that they are defending liberty when they place atheism, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, and illicit drug use on par with traditional morality and religious belief.
