william f. buckley once caught the spirit of that when he talked about his preference for being governed by the first 800 names in the boston telephone directory rather than being governed by a harvard faculty. what he was recognizing is on not range of morally important issues in our culture in our time, if you ask 800 people in the boston phone book or the trend to new jersey phone book or the lynchburg va phone book for their opinion about abortion, marriage, affirmative-action, capital punishment, you name it you will get an answer very different from the answer you would get if you asked 800 people from a major professional association or university professors. that is the division we have in the country culturally. >> host: what are your callers of a decent society? >> guest: respect for the person and his fundamental dignity. in a decent society human beings, persons individuals will not be regarded as means to larger ends social ends going beyond the person. they will not be cogs in a collectivi

. >> william f buckley's famous quote, a conservative is somebody who runs in yelling stop.doesn't seem to fit the definition of a conserve tear yen. >> the way to fix the right and the way for the right to renew itself are principals that exist in american society. federalism is at the heart of the book and when it comes to conservatives -- the drug war is unconstitutional. it involves a huge program and they spend $50 billion a year and it could be a free choice. my arangement is if you look at conservative attitudes toward guns and drugs they are completely incompatible. i don't believe the conservatives need to abandon principals to recognize that. >> i was going to bring up the chapter on federalism and i enjoyed it which is the first time i have ever said that. you talk about how republican party needs to be better. it has been portrayed as a state's rights in giving our country's history is not always a good day to describe something. >> no and there is a civil rights. there are police powers and whatever you want to call it. there is a role and nobody wants to go bac
