But you can - Here's the question you have to answer: If your Gay neighbors get married, how does it inhibit your pursuit of happiness? If it doesn't but you still oppose Gay marriage as law then you'd say that your preferences should be imposed on all US citizens. That isn't liberty but your version of acceptable lifestyle enforced by the police. People that favor this state imposed oppression are call Social Conservatives. Voting doesn't indicate liberty (most dictators are voted into office, e.g., Iran), the principles you uphold do. If you start discriminating amongst freedoms, then you're allowing oppression. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:163329 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
