Re: "An Ignorance of History," by Jessica Hughes, Letter to the Editor, Oct. 1. After unnecessarily reminding me of examples of the inevitable excesses those who have a "preference" for a "Godly" society would impose if the Constitution allowed them to do so, Ms. Hughes says that "Mr. Lee seems to believe the Constitution... somehow prohibits a private citizen's preference for a 'Godly' society." As usual people like Ms. Hughes miss the point. The Constitution does not prohibit a "preference" by a citizen for such a society, it just prohibits the establishment of such a society. As to the "de facto free-market system" she argues as being established by the Constitution, in fact the primary impetus for the Constitution was the need to establish regulation over commerce. We have never had a free-market system under the Constitution, but rather a regulated economic system. To argue that nowhere is the power in the Constitution to regulate a private citizen who happens to sell a product is to mark her and her kind as anarchists. In the world of the anarchist, you are born without any form of control. I reject such a notion, and the box such advocates would craft for our society.
