Uh huh.
I guess my issue is when people want things banned. People can object to policies all they like, but when they want them banned, and others do not, it becomes more of a concern. I don't support lots of things, but I live with the fact that the majority does, and get on with my life, trying to live my life, by my rules. I don't want my morals forced down the throats of everyone else, and equally, vice-versa. So, yes, participate, for sure, but control the agenda, a minority setting the moral agenda, and banning things, no.
