As I grow a little older, my views are starting to evolve.
I now agree with Ron Paul about this. Once a person reaches the Age of Consent, they should have the freedom to do what they want to do to themselves.
Drugs? Sure. Gay marriage? Go for it. It’s your life - screw it up, or make something of it - but at the end of the day, LIBERTY is the ability to make the choice instead of having other people try to control your actions.
Some people will learn to be responsible, and some people won’t.
“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” - Thomas Jefferson
“Once a person reaches the Age of Consent, they should have the freedom to do what they want to do to themselves.”
Would you teach this to your son or daughter, both the good and bad things in life? Would it make you happy if they chose the “bad”? Why or why not?
