79. No, I'm OK with curtailment of rights being done at a higher level, so that rights are uniform
Edited on Fri Feb-11-11 05:55 PM by slackmaster
Restrictions should be done with the broadest consensus possible so that all people have equal protection.

Local restrictions remind me of the arbitrary rules imposed by homeowners' associations. At that level, there isn't enough real consensus to ensure that people are treated fairly and equally.

Why should a local community have more say in individual personal choices than individuals or families have?
