I believe in extremely limited government. But, does that mean that if libertarian ideas are to become the dominating force in American politics, that I will no longer be able to think of my fellow Americans as "we", as in "We The People"?

There's a reason those folks started that grand old document with those particular words. They were really smart guys; I'm constantly amazed by the depth of their intellect, even today. In fact, even more so, each and every day.

For what it's worth ;)
