You say that the state exists to protect for one ‘the rights’ of the people. Do you not believe in the ‘right to representation’ though? If the people of a state believe that sodomy or incest are harmful would you deny their ‘right to representation’ on the issue?
Yes. Do you know what a "Right" is? I don't think you do.
Do you not believe in the ‘right to representation’ though?
Probably not the way you do.
If the people of a state believe that sodomy or incest are harmful would you deny their ‘right to representation’ on the issue?
Define "harm". I think you're confusing "harm" with "most of us don't like it."
What if the people of a State think that Jews are harmful? How about if they think steak dinners are harmful? Should they be able to criminalize eating steak? What if they think Catholocism is harmful?
Many people "think" (they don't really think it, they just believe it) that Carbon Dioxide is harmful and therefore the Government has to strictly regulate and in some cases criminalize the emmission of it. Are those people right in their thinking?
Some people "think" that the lack of having a health insurance program is harmful and that it should be criminalized. Are they right in their thinking?
Here's a hint for you. You're not really thinking. You're believing. There's a big difference.
