The fallacy of your argument is that disease does not stay behind hallowed closed doors, and even if it did, it would be human beings who are suffering. Perhaps we could try to resurrect Thomas Jefferson to have him strike out the inalienable rights passages in the DOI's Preamble to make the libertarians and other social-Darwinists happy.

Are you saying that people with communicable diseases shouldn't be allowed to marry? What should be done with those people?
And what in the world are you babbling about in regards to Jefferson and the inalienable rights passages? "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?" Why in the world would that need to be struck out for libertarians, who are far closer to "Jeffersonian Liberals" that you are!
Maybe you can try to explain what you're talking about.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, ---

Perhaps you could become rational enought, for a moment, to explain to us all what your comment might mean, CJ?
How do 'sex sin laws' protect our unalienable rights to a private life;
liberty under the rule of constitutional law;
and the pursuit of private property?
I predict you are unable to or incapable of even trying.
