Certainly distinctions need to be made between societal sanctions and governmental control, but one could write a doctoral dissertation on that, and I don't have the time.

I would also like to say that I secretly worry about very young true conservatives-- those in their teens and twenties. I can't help but think that they're going to be REALLY BORING old people. :)

It could get quite involved, I agree. I would, however, encourage you to go back and re-read you post with that need to make those distinctions in mind.
