If I seem to be taking too long for you guys, somebody could just post something about constitutional interpretations or libertarianism to get me going...

The "libertarian world" is so vile and filthy that it is by far the most unrealistic and ignorant of all political persuasions. The "I have a dream speech" for Libertarians would go something like thus:
"I have a dream today. A dream where crack houses, whore houses, and schools would all legally coexhist on the same street". I have a dream that one day all Drugs would be on the market without regulation. Let the market determine whether a drug will kill your sick child or not! I have a dream today of that freedom!"

Hows that?

I didn't say I was a (capital "L") Libertarian, but I do lean that way with respect to the proper role of the federal government. State and local government is another matter (or used to be before the 14th amendmend made us all one big happy overpowering government...).

The states and locales do have a proper role in exercising their police powers, including regulating public nuisances and laws regarding public safety. However, even that is being abused by the anti-smoking, anti-alcohol, and anti-fat nazis.

How's that?

Tom's last 56 posts took 32 days, off-season I guess. Factoring in holidays and a couple of horses finally dying, I'll extrapolate that to 35 days. That works out to Jan 2, which I'll pick.

Crap, I was hoping you were one of them "Disband the FDA cuz its not in the constitution" "if the market demands a red light district next to the elementary school who are we to regulate?" libertarians.

We probably agree on more than we disagree then, since you have a brain, unlike hard core libertarians/anarchists so unfortunately I cannot provide for you the post whoring opportunities you need.

As you said, crap! (Increasing the post count on the cheap....)

You're dream is realized! Such a place already exists.


It's called Washington, DC.
