Dragonling, I'm as socially liberal as anyone you'll ever meet. Gays marry? Go for it, hope you are happy for the rest of your life. More than one wife? None of my business. Want to smoke pot? Knock yourself out. For that matter, heroin, crack, meth? Hope you'll be smart enough to not partake, but it isn't something with a solution of "lock them in a cage." Women who "protest" to walk around topless in Asheville? Just be prepared for leering weirdos, but I promise not to be one of them. Life is short and free people should be free to pursue happiness. Crimes should be limited to "don't hurt people and don't take their stuff." Fiscally, I'm to the right of Mussolini, just don't require me to foot the bill. But tools that can kill people? What kind of person in their right mind would only want those in charge to have them? Seems akin to asking to be a slave to me.
