But I sense it is your assertion that you can have a 1900 state with 1977 San Francisco cultural values. And that seems to be what libertarians believe. That is absurd and ahistorical.
The state does as society asks. The state does what society cannot. Strong society = weak state. Weak society = strong state.
Another strawman. Your specialty, I see. Where did I make any reference to 1977 San Francisco? Oh, I didn't. You just made it up because you must distort my point of view in order to mask the weaknesses of your own.
