Rucker, you're a liberal...why don't you tell everyone about yourself. I won't read it because your comments are ignored by me, but since you brought it up, why don't you let everyone that doesn't have you on their ignore list have a reason to put you on it

So do Libertarians try to legislate "minimally"?

[Teufelhund]

Liberals try to legislate responsibility.

Conservatives try to legislate morality.

Great summary.

Unfortunately, we continuously overlook the fact that Congress does not have the power to legislate either one.
