I am generally in favor of less control, but I've also seen first hand where government control is absolutely necessary for something to happen.
In my 'better govt. view',
Less:
- morality (blue) laws, such as sodomy laws, liquor store sales on Sunday, abortion, marijuana (but strictly regulated)
More:
- social justice areas, such as health care, equal opportunity for education (especially cost)
In a nut shell, I think that the purpose of govt. is to
-maximize the freedom and opportunities of individuals while
-preserving the general societal structure
So although I may seem ultra conservative on some issues, I am actually more middle of the road and not so easy to pin down.
