Luckily the tyranny of the local majority is easier to escape than the tyranny of the national majority.

That's why I am a conservative. I am willing to accept people wanting these kinds of laws if they are done at a local level, where people can choose to escape them if they wish. It is liberals that feel if it is a good idea, it is a great idea if it is mandatory and forced on the whole country, if not the whole world.

That's exactly why I chose to live where I do and not a couple miles east over the county line in Washtenaw Michigan. Taxes in Washtenaw county are higher but the jobs pay better. It made perfect sense for me to live in Jackson county and drive 8 miles to where I worked in Washtenaw for $2 more per hour than I could make here while paying lower taxes.

A conservative should also support local freedom however, even if you recognise the authority of local governments to pass ordinances that are anti-freedom.
