<...These are Republicans, too. Democrats aren't the only ones who attempt to tell other people how to live.
No argument there. There is getting to be less and less difference between the parties nowadays. The last really libertarian Republican was probably Goldwater, with Reagan maybe coming in a distant second. The reason I generally support Republicans is that by and large they are a bit less collectivist than Democrats. Not a glowing recommendation by any means.
How do you deal with a political system of electing leaders that practically selects for power lust? I'm beginning to think we'd be better off if politicians were chosen by lottery, or by some system like jury duty. Or like the draft.
