Subject: RE: BS: Kansas 1st State to Kill Roe v. Wade...
That is some of the most blatant trolling I have ever seen.

Well, pdq, you don't seem able to carry on a conversation on this topic. How is asking you to clarify your positions trolling?

I said I want most social issues taken out of politics.

Yes you did. And I ask, again, what that means. Should abortion be illegal? Getting social issues out of politics could mean a complete abortion ban or a complete hands-off position. Should gay marriage be legal? Saying that you want social issues out of politics sounds like you're saying that there should be no legislation on marriage at all. Is that really your position?

I said I want our elected officials to try to balance the budget at both Federal and state levels.

Yes you did. What's that mean? No new taxes? Corporations losing their subsidies? A decrease in military spending? No Social Security? No Medicare? No regulatory bodies?

I have no plans to propose solutions to all the world's problems as I have little or no responsibility for causing them.

Yes, you said that, too. The question is whether or not you, as a self-professed libertarian, think the government should be involved in the world's problems? Also, if you pay taxes in the United States, you ARE part of whatever solutions the government comes up with.

Really, if you don't want to have a discussion about these things, please go away and let the rest of us have at it. All you've done so far is bark out the same two sentiments over and over, without explaining what you mean by either of them. What good is that?
