I agree with you up to a point. That point is the "most statist" comment. Tyranny by a minority is no better than tyranny of a majority and in many ways worse. If people don't decide under what laws they live, who does? An "intellectual" elite who know better?

We have a CONSTITUTION which clearly and in easy-to-read language (so any average sixth grader can understand it) delineates what Government may do. The list is VERY SHORT. And laws may be enacted ONLY WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS, period. Anything beyond that causes government to trespass into forbidden territory.
