They want less government regulation, not because they believe it philosophically illegitimate

I want less government regulation because I believe it is philosophically illegitimate. At the very least, it's irreconcilable with the intent of this country's founders.

I've got to respectfully disagree with you on that. In keeping with the fact that this a story about intellectualism, I'm going to put on my nerd glasses. There's nothing inherently wrong with government regulations themselves. The problem is the source of said regulations.

Practically stated: If Oklahomans, or residents in a county in Oklahoma decide that it should be illegal to import or purchase a Toyota, it's entirely within their rights to do so.

If the Feds, on the other hand, force Oklahomans to accept Toyotas on their streets, and offer subsidies to Toyota owners, and declare that Toyotas always have the right of way on OK roads... well, then we've got a problem.
