I hate to get into such a stupid argument (or at least 50% stupid), but I've gotta add something (also a drive-by, but this isn't really a point for debate):
Personally, I'm tired of collectivist society and its failures. Tired of having my tax money used in ways I don't like. Tired of being told I can't smoke a joint because it's bad for me. I think it's ridiculous that a moron in Flin Flon Manitoba has any effect on my life whatsoever simply because we're stuck living in the same political jurisdiction (that's not to say everyone in Flin Flon is a moron, but there is undoubtedly at least 1 living there). All of this goes against my desires to do whatever I want, which is a very human trait.
There's a name for people like me: libertarian. It's tough to be of that mindset in this country, which is over-governed, so I can't imagine how bad it must be for you, FoL, with your ideals that are a hop, skip, and a giant leap over the rainbow from mine. You must feel like killing yourself!
