Instead of {Surgical Extraction}, I would like to invite the off-topic Evolution discussion participants to head on over to General Discussion > Evolution.

Let's keep it clean and fun, boys!   ;)

I keep hearing about Libertarians (I listen to Penn Jillette's Sunday School), but I don't know much about their stance and platform.

If I would classify myself as anything. Like a democrat or republican. I would say I was more libertarian. I believe in the more controlled sanctions, but more open for the government to "move" within their power.
If that makes sense.

"Move"? ???

Yeah, I don't really know my stance on .politics. yet. I don't read/watch enough of it. My dad listens to rush....nuff said there ;)

But yeah I do understand a little economics so I just root for whoever seems to have a grip on how to handle the economy the best.

To paraphrase Lao-Tsu, the government is like your lungs, if they are working properly you don't notice them.

Haha. I don't know another word for it.
My English is lacking, but I'm trying my best.

Use more than one word.  What do you mean the government should move within their power.

Use their power to its fullest extent?

Yes. With less restrictions.

I think that the government should treat power as a recourse, and use it efficiently (use the smallest amount possible to do the greatest good).

Leberitarian=fast immediate change outside the status quo.  Our founding fathers, in the USA, were libertarians since their intention was to liberate us from the British Monarchy and become a self governing state.

Progressive=gradual change that does not necessarily disrupt the status quo, but, is not afraid to adopt new policies that suit the needs of the ever changing society we find ourselves in......evolutionary really ;)

Conservative=do not disrupt or even question the status quo, things are fine the way they are and do not suggest otherwise.

Many people in my community believe its time for a new governmental body
