    I do, of course, but I am a libertarian. I've remained silent on this
    issue of late mainly because the discussion makes more heat than light
    and I don't see anyone changing positions based on it. Instead, people
    are basically reciting their views.

    BTW, I visit http://www.vdare.com/ , lewrockwell.com, and antiwar.com
    regularly. They're good sites to get the libertarian,
    paleoconservative, and paleolibertarian viewpoints on various issues.
    (I urge people to visit them, but, like with anything else, not to only
    visit them.)

    Later!

    "A written constitution certainly has many and considerable advantages,
    but it is a great mistake to suppose that the mere insertion of
    provisions to restrict and limit the power of the government, without
    investing those for whose protection they are inserted with the means of
    enforcing their observance will be sufficient to prevent the major and
    dominant party from abusing its powers. Being the party in possession
    of the government, they will, from the same constitution of man which
    makes government necessary to protect society, be in favour of the
    powers granted by the constitution and opposed to the restrictions
    intended to limit them..." -- John C. Calhoun
