  25.        Just to make a point, a position that the government should make
  26. fewer laws does not mean that you object to every new law which comes
  27. down the pike simply because it is a new law.

  29. >and leave people more alone (than the

  32.        Actually, the impression I get is that the problem with the
  33. Colorado amendment is that it leaves people *too much* alone.  That
  34. the government doesn't step in at the "right" times.
