"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts as are only injurious to others."

Do you agree?

"Do you agree?"

Absolutely. I am assuming you'll allow me to define "injurious to others".

Are you going to answer any of my questions, or is this some kind of one-sided interrogation?

Why do you endorse limits on "the will of the people", and where do you get that authority?

What makes you say it's axiomatic that legislatures are limited in their law making ability to those laws governing behavior which harms others?

What is your definition of harm?

You've got some catching up to do.
