Touche, Sir G! Your foil is always sharp. I would say that there's a difference here: In both cases you're talking about the federal gov't legislating morality and controlling freedom rather than allowing the states to do it. In both cases that's wrong. Further, personal freedoms only "slip" when they deprive another of his or her personal freedoms. I guess we can extend this to wolverines on the premise that they aren't capable of making adult, sound mind judgements. Put another way, the slippery slope argument is historical fact where applied to ever more powerful centralized authorities. When applied to personal freedoms the line is clear: where your pursuit of happiness inhibits another's is where your freedoms end. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159922 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
