You are perfectly content to surrender "rights" that you don't believe are necessary. You are permitting someone else, who is restricting you, "for your own good" to demand your obedience.

I offer that, perhaps, you might consider your position from other angles... There is nothing wrong with painting your house like a Jack-O-Lantern. It shows a certain whimsy. However, permitting some tin pot Hitler tell you "CAN'T" presents the question of whether you deserve your freedom.

There is the option that YOU are the tin pot. It would explain your position.

Once again, you cannot understand the issue. I don’t live in an HOA neighborhood, so I’ve not surrendered my rights to anyone. When I did live in an HOA neighborhood, I did’t surrender anything then either - because as an adult with intelligence, I knew what I was getting into.

You act like HOA’s invade innocent neighborhoods from Mars and force people into a miserable life. That’s just stupid frankly. Millions of people voluntarily live in HOA neighborhoods. This is not a rights issue regardless of whether you can figure it out.
