"You argue that since these socialist depredations are irreversible"

I do not. I simply am telling you what is.

"I argue that we should cancel the war on community and individual responsibility, and let the chips fall where they may."

Nope. You want to take away the laws against drugs, gambling, prostitution, etc., then "let the chips fall where they may"?

Hell, those "chips" will fall right into one or more of the existing federal government programs. Let's double the number of people on welfare, then we'll try to get rid of the program, huh?

How about this? Let's get rid of the social programs first, thereby forcing people to assume personal responsibility. Once these programs are gone, I would venture to guess that the citizenry would be much more receptive to ending the "war on community and individual responsibility", since the results of ending that war will have little impact on their lives.
