When government makes unnecessary, burdensome regulations, the people should demand their repeal, and have the power to do this.

The people also have a right to demand, reasonable, common sense regulations that protect people, facilitate free markets, and bring some semblance of order to society.

Your absolutist views are why Libertarians are generally considered a laughing stock. The throw the baby out with the bath water approach is dangerous and stupid.

I am also fascinated by the fact the Libertarians always seem to foucs their fire on regulations and laws that actually have some legitimate purpose and prevent a lot of harm to society, rather and on the truly silly and burdensome ones.

It is always, “Legalize crack, heroin, pot and meth!”, or “Eliminate licensing for physicians”, not “That law dictating the exact size of lettering on store signs should be repealed”.

Watch John Stossel tonight and you will be even more fascinated.

Has it ever occurred to you that the Medical Industry is a legally mandated monopoly?

Did you know it is a felony if you try to order a medical lab test for yourself?

Ever wonder why the health care system is collapsing?

Shouldn’t the licensing entity be responsible for the licensees actions?
