I do not think that the limitation of government enters in here. What frustrates me in these types of debates is the total lack of any distinction made for the amount of discretion various layers of government should be given to implement policies. There isn't "a" government. We have layer after layer of government. This is good. This is wise. The best balance between the rights of individuals and the rights of majorities not to be held hostage by minorities can be achieved by giving more discretion to units of government as the size of their jurisdiction decreases. Hence, a town or individual school district should have wide latitude to implement policies that are favored by majorities of citizens in the community. If you simply can't stomach those policies, and you can't convince your neighbors of their folly, then it's a small matter to move to a different community. The power of Federal government should be severely constrained. If they screw up, what is your alternative?
