16. Poorly back reasons using hyperbole and labeling because some can't argue their ideals
Edited on Sun Apr-26-09 03:09 PM by The Straight Story
I am for government, and regulations by said government.

Just not for it going too far one direction or the other.

Balance. it is not libertarian to believe that the government should not control all aspects of our lives to protect us.

But all I get in response is a label, as though that makes my argument invalid.

Kind of like feel good legislation. Does nothing to fix an issue, but makes someone feel better about themselves.

Guess that is just the norm for some here. Feel good, use labels, and don't address root causes because that requires us facing things we might not like.
