Natalie Solent states with perfect elegance exactly how my libertarian politics mesh with my conservative sentiments:What I want is for our customs to change, not our laws.Reagan and Bush both have changed our culture in big ways with their bully pulpits. But if our pols cannot convince the public from that bully pulpit, passing a law to make up for it is most likely to trivialize the law, trivialize the people's sentiment and trivialize the trust our pols are supposed to earn from us by temperance and intelligence in their actions. So no blue laws or other devices to enforce the public morality, please. If Teddy Kennedy and Bill Bennet can pull it together to set us a good example, I'm sure the better part of us won't find it too challenging to follow, with no laws needed.
