BUT, my eyes have been opened to the fact that freedom and liberty can be lost. And lost by sticking our noses in everyones business, by legislating morality, by legislating away things that we dont like or agree with. Freedom means making choices for yourself. As long as your choices dont negatively impact others, there should not be a law against it. We need less laws. We need more freedom. Just because you are super religious doesnt mean you can take away somebody elses choices. If we keep legislating away everything that we dont agree with, eventually we wont have any freedom. The conservatives will legislate away everything they want to go away, the liberals will legislate away everything else. There will be nothing left for us Freedom loving People to do. Everything will be illegal.
Its sad that there are some amongst us who still think they have the right to push their beliefs on everyone else.
