As a closet libertarian, I assure you that no one is more offended by government interference into private lives than I but I am not so foolish as to imagine that, in America, at least, the government is not representative of the majority will of the people. Oh, I know that is an unpopular view, in this forum and in right wing forums too, but the fact is that ours is a fairly moderate/conservative electorate and they seem to want to have the government tell them what they can eat, drink, smoke and wear. Those of you who support a woman's right to choose abortion should realize that banning abortions and requiring perscriptions are two sides of the same coin (Who controls our bodies?). The only difference is that we have accepted the latter (and ain't the AMA and the drug companies doing well as a result?), but women have not accepted the former.
But why are we discussing this when the solution is so obvious? All the anti-war advocates have to do is vote and we will never be in another war. I mean, you guys are in the majority, aren't you?
