Sounds like you'd go along with mandatory condom laws. Even when alone.

If you cannot distinguish between what two (or one) persons do in their home, and what people do while operating a vehicle on a public roadway, then I have great fear for the conservative movement.

Using small words: I own my home. I don't own the road, the People (through their agent the State) do. In order to use my car on the road, I agree to the People's rules. I don't have to agree to anyone's rules to use myself.

One, I can, and wearing a condom isn't limited to one's home.

Two, I fear greatly for what used to be a Conservative movement since so many so-called conservatives seem to have forgotten anything resembling a 'live and let live' philosophy, especially when they can get the government involved.

Cute. But in your magnificent efforts to be condenscending, you missed the entire point. (You cannot truly be condenscending if you aren't actually better than the other. Or do I need to type more slowly so because you can't read very fast? Tsk, tsk, your lips are moving again!)

If I'm not wearing my seatbelt, what effect does that have on other drivers?

None.

I'll submit that wearing a condom would prevent more illnesses and deaths than does wearing a seatbelt.

But you are prepared to protect your rights and privacy while giving others' away.
