Sorry Dominic, but one of the undeniable truths of life is that politics can and does permeate anything and everything whether we like it or not!

I also *respect* your obviously Libertarian view of these issues, but as you know... slavery was treated as a "live and let live" thang for a long, long time!!!

The choices you are giving us in this thread are far too limiting and limited... And I think you know it. No offense intended and none taken!

'Slavery' has a victim. That is the imposition of force on an unwilling person.

I will simply point out that 'Social' views and 'political' views are two different things. 'Social' views are your opinions on social aspects of society. 'Political' views are your views on the laws, govt, etc, of society.

I'm trying to do a basic "component analysis" here, breaking the ideas down into their core components. By which I hope to understand what common threads unite us, and focus on those.

So to do some off-the-cuff analysis on the spot, I think most folks are for less govt, lower taxes, etc. (I say most, cuz I know on FR we have folks who want strong laws against victimless crimes, and such, even if they aren't here yet).

And we are *divided* on social issues.

So, like the Contract with America, I think an early theory might be we should focus on the govt issues, and avoid raising the social issues when running for offices this fall.
