I know it's not as fun and titillating to want to control your own life and not other people's, but that's pretty much the foundation for a free society, so you should try.

That, my friend, is a point that you need to pound home time and time again. I think a blog post on just that one point would be wonderful.

We have many (not a few here) that can see the control freak nature of the opposition, but not the control freak impulses of their own. They need your help there ol' sage of the net. (no, that was not sarcasm)

If all people were adults and all agreed to do these acts then the constitution protects their right to do so as does any rational idea of liberty. It may be stupid; it may be sick; it may be repulsive: but it is legal in a free country.
