In Pursuit of Minimalism

I don't fully endorse this view, but there is much to be said for it:

When I vote in any local or state election, I vote for the candidate who I think will do the least. Not the least of anything specific, just the least amount of everything. The perfect candidate for me would be one that would walk around kissing babies. I think we have enough state and federals. We have 200+ years of making local and state laws. That's enough.

That's actually nearly the opening of a fairly well-thought out essay. The only downside: the hint of libertarianism brought out the Ron Paul loonies in the comments.
