The mmiddle ground is personal,family, or public, responsibility.

I am not against laws. Laws are one of the things that allow mankind to exist in a, somewhat, orderly manner.
Sweeping laws that affect everyone, whether the action will hurt anyone besides the actor, are another thing altogether.
Whats a good law? Whats a bad law? I have more faith in the average American than a libertarian think tank.
