From the left here, I couldn't agree more. I think what everyone's really tired of in this country is having to come to this huge consensus on every issue before moving forward. States are supposed to be incubators of new ideas, new ways of approaching problems and finding solutions. But the right puts its stranglehold on states just as the left puts its strangehold on them as well. I think a lot of people are realizing this now though… libertarianism, as an idea, can be just as easily paired with a left-wing philosophy as it has traditionally been paired with a right-wing philosophy. If there's any common ground we can find between us, I think it's that we'd all like to be left alone to choose our own paths. Decentralization is key to that opportunity. And maybe if both sides can test out their ideas and see if they're good or bad on a smaller scale, it will help the country as a whole to determine better policies, and get past all the rhetoric. We talk and we talk and we talk but no one knows because no one can actually try anything out. All the good bills get ruined in endless negotiation and it just manufactures bribes and quid pro quos. Here here.
