Limited government means limited laws.

Limited to what? In what areas of life should government have no say?

"In what areas of life should government have no say?"

Hey. You're the one who brought up limited government. You're the one who brought up restraining legislators. You're the one who wants our laws limited to behavior which harms others.

So why are you asking me about "what areas of life should government have no say"? You've already staked that out.

I said the government is limited by the constitution and the will of the people acting through their legislators. You would restrict the will of the people by limiting the laws to behavior which harms others. If the people want fewer laws they can tell their representatives. You do realize we are a self-governing nation?
