Frankly, so long as no children or beasts are involved, I don't care what grown people watch in the privacy of their own homes. This sounds so reasonable, but in truth, this is where the excesses have their origin. It's the skinny end of the wedge. We got the same thing with homosexuality. It started with reasonable people granting people the indulgence of their rights, and ended with those same reasonable people being clubbed over the head with their original concession.

This sounds so reasonable, but in truth, this is where the excesses have their origin The slippery slope argument has never held much sway with me. The fact that certain people abuse their rights does not mean that those rights should be taken away from the rest of us.

Reasonable people granted gun owners the indulgence of their rights, and now those same reasonable people are victims of gun violence.
And here I thought rights were inalienable. What a fool I was!
