I was simply pointing out the inconsistency. Lots of people talk about personal freedom, and rejecting other people forcing their own sense of personal morality on them. Then they turn around and try to do the same in regards to other issues.

The point is neither "side" here, if you could even quantify it as such - is consistent with the principle, rather the field is filled with "fair weather friends" of liberty.

" Liberty is good as long as I can do what I want, and as long as other people also do what I want. "


For who could be free when every other man's humour might domineer over him? - John Locke (2nd Treatise, sect 57)
