Liberty Should Not Remove Punishments

I do not think that liberty should extend so far as to erase punishments for corruption. We came to an earth where we are free to choose, it is true, but we also came to an earth where there are consequences for corruption. Some of the consequences are natural and some are man-made. Either way, consequences are not evil. Corruption is evil, not punishments for corruption. Lest we confuse what libertarianism does, let us realize it removes not one's ability to take drugs, and to spread pornography, and to prostitute, but only does it remove some of the punishments. Are we to prohibit consequences in the name of providing liberty?
