"This Republican has some doubts"

[chipotle]

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer had a guest column a few days ago that's worth reading. I'm aware I draw flak when I get even mildly political (and objectively, I think in four-plus years of writing this I've had less political content than many folks have in an active week), but I'll be candid: these are among the questions I wonder why my more conservative/libertarian friends and acquaintances don't ask.

Honestly, this is why I *was* a republican....

Too tired to think out a rational response beyond the fact that there are far too many laws in this country, and most make no sense to be on the books.

A law, by matter of fact, LIMITS your freedom.

Think about the motto of the state where I'm from. (Hint it's New Hampshire)

Quite simply I would rather take care of myself, than have a law do it for me. (seat belt laws?) anyway...
