I just accept that not everyone shares my world view and understand we all be happier if we didn't seek government to enforce our opinions.

Excellent, that is exactly how I feel. Now if only more people felt this way too... maybe we should make it law!! It's certainly not just the religious right that tries to legislate their opinions. This is also how abortion even came to be "Constitutionally protected" in the first place, and now the liberals want to outlaw SUVs. There is little difference between the 2 extremes.

The sad part is if we strictly interpreted the constitution and the government did not engage in areas not authorized we wouldn't have most of our modern troubles. They say people will gladly exchange liberty for the right to tell others how to live. I tend to believe that.

BTW, I thought your column about Arnold was well thought out and written. He may not live up to my libertarian standards but if I lived in California I'd give him a shot - he certainly can't make things worse than they are and he might just be able to reform the place.
