We are going to become a law-less society, so everyone can be happy.
If that's where we're going then so be it.
I'll still be a conservative, Christian, republican.

How do you think we got the current laws?
That's right, we got the current laws because groups of people could
convince sufficient people to change the existing law to their views. That
is a continuous proces and has served over hundreds of years to produce the
laws that are currently in place.
Are you seriously suggesting we stop changing law, send the entire
legislative body home and live with the current laws forever?
