At the risk of creating more heat than light, I will observe that Progressives (not liberals mind you):

- Use municipal government to control the lives of individuals in accordance with their personal values

- Use state government to control municipalities in accordance with their personal values

- Use central government to control states in accordance with their personal values.

Subsidiarity is that quaint idea that the guy with the problem is, most often, the best person to solve that problem -- not the guy up in the bleachers. Yea for Lafayette standing up for subsidiarity!
