Here is the line where Federalism and Libertarianism meet, and without getting into a long discussion (b/c I type poorly, and its better over a few drinks- I'll leave it with "there are competing pluses and problems with both")

No, it doesn't. I'm probably as pro-choice as you, yet I've stand by the assertion that (i) Roe is awful law and (2) it's because of this "law by judicial fiat" that abortion is such a divisive issue in this country. If people got to actually vote on the topic (shocking, eh), you'd see that 70% are in the middle and the 15% of the fringe dictate the current conversation

You make a lot of sense when you stop snarling. You recognize gray areas and legitimate competing concerns, when you aren't so busy bashing your perceived mortal enemies. You say a number of things I agree with, and a number of things I disagree with but could discuss, even to the point of being convinced to change my mind. When you don't fulminate and call everyone who opposes you a traitor, an idiot, and so forth.
You ought to do this more often.
