I may be missing something but you're question doesn't make any sense to me.

Let me try again then....

To me it sounded like ISM is saying that in cases where the nation cannot agree, we should "err on the side of freedom and liberty"

The problem is, as a nation we never agree on anything. So I was just curious at what point (percentage wise) this idea kicks in.

For example not everyone believes we should have speed limits. Therefor as a nation we are undecided. Do you recommend removing all speed limits?

How about gun control? Drugs? Personal Property rights, public education, social security? Should we ditch all of this because some percentage of the population disagrees?
