The conservatives out there claim that they want government out of people's lives (the Libertarians are another matter). But, it would appear that the legislation that many of them advocate would have the government control our lives more than ever. A few examples I've seen are: 1. creationism and prayer in public schools 2. abortion legally defined as murder 3. descrimination against homosexuals 4. 21 year old drinking age and vigorous drug enforcement I could go on but I think this shows what I am talking about. So, could someone out there (preferably semi-rational) explain to me this seemingly contradictory philosophy? And can they do it without using the "man is evil and that makes it necessary" argument? As Milo the Magnificent would say "FACTS! I WANT FACTS! NUMBERS! DATA! INPUT! COMPUTE!" and on, and on, and on.................
