And people like me, also known as optimists, believe that responsible adults will act appropriately, within the bounds of the criminal laws. There is no need to tend to the social ecology, it will develop on its own. Might even pleasantly surprise you.

All the values you mention (self-discipline, responsibility etc.) are clearly necessary for self-governance. They can and do exist independently of the values-laden institutions you mention.

I don't want anyone telling me that I have to be a Rotarian or that I have to go to Jimmy Swaggart's church. Therein lies the rub: The extremists that have hijacked the Republican Party deep in their hearts want to tell you what club to join, what church to attend, when and how to screw, and pray, reverently and piously, of course, for laws which will allow them to punish those unwilling to accept their standards.
