No I don't want you running the government and the Founding Fathers set up a system to let me have a voice so that can happen peacefully.

I think that you failed to answer the question from dwcusmc: Does the legislature (state or Federal) have complete authority to set the rules for society, presumably in compliance with the will of the majority, or is it limited by some prior rules (the constitution) that are there to protect the minority from abuse and tyranny of the majority?

Uh dude reply #91 says it all and that I would fight in the arena of ideas(i.e through th electoral process) against dcwusmc's and your idea of freedom(i.e drugs and child porn are no big problem).

BTW, why do you strident Libertarians get "all of the sudden civil", when faced with questions that can't be easily answered with such quick replies as "statist", "jack booted thug", or "boot licking drug warrior".

The quote, "You doth protest too much" seems quite apt.

Hey who would of thought that Shakespere wrote about and ridiculed "liberal/libertarian" thought in the late 1500's.

Just reaffirms my beleif that political naivete and the words that describe that naievte are ageless.
