Any support at all is rare around here at the moment!


I'll give you some support. I agree with you regarding the collective weight of laws and regulations. I'd never build my own house. There's no way I could cope with those frustrations. I'd rather take on X's second graders than such a bureaucratic snarl.

Which gives me all the more reason to be shocked by your position. Sure I'd like the government to back off. But I recognize that the libertarians just aren't in power right now. Maybe they will be at some point, but they aren't now. The country has its sights on different goals. What kind of country would we have if the folks who were out of power at any given time invoked the founding fathers and started blowing things up? It's part of the social contract that we do what we can within the process to get things to turn more to our liking. Until that happens, we wait our turn like civilized people.
