I think you are off the top of the page. That's what I meant about not being in it.

A curious statement at best don't you think? How does one get above supporting individual liberty over governmental intrusion and legislative pandering?

To my way of thinking only an anarcharcical mindset could top my own position and I'm hardly an anarchist.

Govt has it's uses, purposes and functions, and in our case as Americans, the boundaries of such things are clearly defined by our Constitution. If one truly supports the tenets of the Constitution then govts constant oversteppings are obvious and hence Constitutionally illegal.

What a shame such a view is considered off the charts

If so many people were not total fucking assholes and required some sort of government intervention I would be an anarchist too. I am not an anarchist either but some days I am tempted...

Radical problems unfortunately elicit radical responses, which are just as bad (if not worse) than we already have to deal with. Going from one extreme to another does not work.

A perfect world and a perfect democracy do not and never will exist (sorry Trekkies, not happening, real life is harder than that). We have to do the best we are able to with what we have to work with. Even if the goal is out of reach we should at least keep it in view.

Thanks for so eloquently makin my point

The govts truest greatness is in addressing an issue by overreacting, usually in a heavy handed fashion, which only serves to create another problem, which then they have to again, come to the rescue to repair, and on, and on, and on, ad infinitum (more like ad nauseum).

However, if you make the federal govt confine themselves to that which they are directly tasked with, providing for defense, seeing to governance of state to state issues and then providing a framework to allow business to operate both internally and abroad, as opposed to attempting to micro manage every facet of the human existence, which they have neither the right, nor the business to be doing, then the states, counties and cities/municipalities handle the rest, as was intended.

It really is just that simple

The web exists and we are tangled in it. Every strand cut removes support for others. The same thing has been going on throughout human history relatively unchanged. It is Kalachakra, the Wheel of Life, the Grand Illusion, Samsara.
