A government that is big enough to give you all you need is big enough to take it all away -Barry M. Goldwater
We all want less government here. I'm not a liberatarian but I want less government.
Goldwater opposed Civil Rights, because he felt it was a state's rights issue. Not, because he was racist. Some people here opposed Terri Shiavo on the basic of State's rights.
The purpose of State's rights is to give the individual more freedom and say in government.
