[A CA Guy]

Where the line changes is also drawn by the laws created by our elected officials that were voted in by our Democratic Republic. I think laws seems to be more restrictive where ever the population is denser. That is what I notice.

But if you think (as an exapmle) that you should have the right to stick a needle in your arm and run around naked while sodomizing your dead dog outside naked under the moonlight, I would suggest you do it where people can't see.
On an island, few could know.
If you choose to live near people, you more closely have to follow the laws of the land.
