What terrible examples.

The FDA, as discussed in the Boat Captain thread, is entirely unnecessary. One potential option, as mentioned, was tort liability for all things not disclosed when the pills were sold.

Clearly defined water rights would more than properly solve number two.

Learn something about other political views before making ridiculous statements. There's no need to write it off by citing some Christian quasi-libertarian who for some reason liberals have adopted as the poster child of libertarianism. Probably just to defame it in the minds of mindless liberal voters.

Uh, I'm aware of other political views. But unfortunately the Supreme Court doesn't subscribe to them, and won't in the foreseeable future. We can argue all we want about what the Ninth Amendment means, but things like the FDA aren't going to be ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court anytime soon. They'd say it falls under the vague "interstate commerce" clause. And they'd say the same thing for the FAA.
