Groups of people coming together to make rules/law to govern themselves runs contrary to the ideals upon which this county was built?
Do you live outside the United States? Do you belong to ANY clubs and organizations?
That's just a ridiculous statement.
No it isn't. Our country was founded on among other important principles, private property rights. If I own land I should be able to do anything I want within the law. Private clubs and social or professional organizations don't have the power to take my home from me if I paint a color some bored old ditty down the street doesn't like.
Remember the phrase live and let live. We don't hear it much anymore because of the mindset it seems you are expressing.
