177. I don't have a problem with that until you start forcing your decission on others.
That goes into freedom of choice. Which is hugely being threatened these days. I'm just waiting for Congress to put an end to an age old argument and legislatively decide for the entire country once and for all. Are we going to order Italian or Chinese? Coke or Pepsi? There can only be one! Is usally the battle cry. People demand freedom of choice. But they don't like to extend that freedom to others. They like to make their choice then immediately try to keep others from making their choice. Because, you know, they've already done that for you. If you don't agree with decission they have made for you. You're just a horrible person. I can't stand that and will not tollerate it in the least. Freedom only exists in a choice. Anything else is a mandate or dictum.
