Replying to Avatar Matt

I'm in a weird purgatory where I'm a governmental minimalist but not an anarchist. It's pretty hard to find others like that. It seems that you're either a full on commie or an anarchist. Or even worse, a fence sitter playing the middle.

I tend to agree with Ayn Rand's view of government. It gets lonely, but it's the most rational position I've read.

Go Subsidiarity! Minimum authority to the most local government that makes sense.

Subsidiarity leads to minarchy, I think, as authority gets shifted down and down and the majority ends up in families (the lowest level of government) and only a few key things (like national defense and diplomacy) remain at the federal level.

As much Government as possible should be at the family level so stay-at-home dad's like myself don't feel as impotant as we are.
