Actually I have stated several times what I mean by *rights*. All people have the *right* to do whatever they want – whatever they want – as long as they do not infringe on someone else’s rights – as long as they do not consciously harm others – as long as they do not break the law. I am *for* the most freedom possible.
And I am open to that changing. Not to us losing *rights* and freedoms (as has sadly happened) – but to us gaining more. Something like this:
” Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.” – Thomas Jefferson
I noticed this article making the rounds today. If true – you can give up on trying to control people’s sexuality:
“More than nine out of 10 Americans, men and women alike, have had premarital sex, according to a new study. The high rates extend even to women born in the 1940s, challenging perceptions that people were more chaste in the past…”
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
