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.
