I just love it when conservatives argue against something and then unravel their own point in the very same letter.

David Asplund (Letters, Oct. 28) argues against the premise stated in an earlier Rich Elfers column stating, “any virtue becomes evil without limits,” then he gives us the definition of freedom. But then, in the very next paragraph he states quite clearly and correctly that, “We are a nation of laws and the purpose of laws is to provide a ‘system of rules that a particular community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and may enforce by the imposition of penalties.'”

If that is not exactly what Mr. Elfers was talking about, then I guess I must have missed his point.
