It's a different philosophy, you are right about that, by protecting the minority the majority is protected, because we are more a part of various minority groups than we are any majority. Don't let them get rid of those polka-dot seat covers ...
Windy we could go round and round here.....
Now I do absolutely agree with you in principle.....I do agree that individual freedoms should be protected...no argument.

As i said above though we would all also be kidding ourselves if we believed that we are 'free' in either your country or mine to do whatever we please....gay marriage?? Euthanasia?? Abortion? Recreational Drug use??
Pick your issue...

Poker dot dresses don't kill people.....just saying.
