Well said, counselor.

There are many other issues as well.

Yes indeed there are. You'd honor me if you discussed another important libertarian/conservative frontier: tolerantly accepting God in the public arena. Are you game?

A somewhat well-spoken, self-professed libertarian (who has the earmarks of another type though) abandoned the reasoning part of our discussion at what he unwittingly reveals to be his discomfort level. It may be constructive to see if a catholic conservative (on what could be seen as a blasphemous concept) is better inclined to the detente I proposed at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/973882/posts?page=169#169 (and 170#170).

Pleasse tell me: yea or nay? I will then know to patiently await one of your thoughtful replies.
