Let's make a deal. You can have your freedom to live next door to crack houses with prostitutes walking the streets and an OTB parlor nearby, and I have the freedom to live in a community without those things.
Fair enough? Or are you saying that I cannot have that freedom? Who's restricting who?
You can choose to live where you want, on your knees living at the government's beck and call. I do not wish for SC to turn out like that.
I'd rather deal with the gamblers, whores and crackheads than an intrusive government and its jackboot lickers - if I wanted that, I'd head north.
By the way, you're absolutely right--this is Our Federalism, as the Founders intended it.
You don't like the way South Carolina runs the show? There are 49 other states. Maybe if the folks on here don't like South Carolina, they can try Oregon--that state has one of the most protective constitutions for pornography and obscenity around. And there's no sales tax!

Guess what, bobbie? -- You have the freedom to live in a community without those things.
There are hundreds of planned communities all over the USA without crack houses, - prostitutes walking the streets and an OTB parlor nearby.
Feel free to buy a house in one.
-- And abandon your efforts to subvert our Constitution with prohibitions on life, liberty or property.
We should both have the freedom to chose where we want to live and what we chose to buy. But such logic is wasted on some.
I am sorry you have made the, no doubt accurate, self-assessment that you cannot handle living in a free society. I am worthy of freedom.
