You're confused. I'm not arguing for a free society devoid of government. I was only pointing out the hypocrisy of Nell saying we're closer to being on our way to a free society under Obama than under Republican leadership. If anything, were moving further away from one under Obama just as we were under Bush.
Also, I'm not an expert on raw milk vs pasteurized but pasteurization of milk destroys some of the nutrients and makes the sugar in milk absorb quicker, meaning you're hungry much sooner after drinking it. But hey, if your government tells you it's okay, drink up.
If you're not a fan of big gov, neither of the two big parties are the answer for you. Michigan's Republican led Emergency Manager law is one of the biggest big gov things to have come out of the last decade. The patriot act, started by a Rep, continued by a Dem. Telling gay ppl they can't get married, and women can't decide what to do with their bodies (abortion and controception) are big gov things. Just as Democrats ideas on social nets are big gov. Both sides do it, Democrats just own it, and don't try to hide that they want gov getting more involved. Republicans are every bit as guilty of big gov, they just pretend not to be.
