So unless I want government to enforce my position, I must abandon that position? If I believe it's wrong for people to eat meat, but also wrong for me or the FDA to force others to eat veggies, I must be an idiot? Why such hostility toward people with different ideas?

Even if someone wants strict government control over people's sex and medical decisions, that is a minute fraction of what government does. (I didn't read the article.)

All the users I respected for being able to articulate non-mainstream views have quit Hubski, or at least quit putting much effort into it. I also find exploring issues increasingly unsatisfying.

At least we have #funfacts.
