What do you mean an issue that 'shouldn't' be fought now? Issues aren't fought on yours or my time, they are fought when the effected people are ready to fight. I'm not saying it shouldn't be fought now. I responding to comments that imply that it shouldn't be fought now. All I'm saying is its ok for both sides or neither side to fight now. Its not reasonable to say to one side "why do you have to deal with this issue at this time when there are so many more important things to deal with", while supporting the other side decision to choose this time to fight out the issue. Yes, the left tries to expand personal freedoms; the right tries to restrict them. Both sides do both. The left does plenty of restricting. First from what I understand, sodomy laws still exist in the states that have a rightie bent. They where declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. Secondly, the left isn't trying to make straight people marry gay people. Gay people simply want to marry each other. How does that effect anyone but the gay people in question? What actually do they want to do? Do they want to live together? They can do that. Do they want to have sex? They can do that as well. Do they want to share property? Yes that as well. Do they want to have a ceremony demonstrating their commitment? No problem there, its also legal. The lack of support isn't a restriction on the freedom oh homosexuals. They can do anything, what they want is not the freedom to do something but the acceptance and support of their actions and decisions by government and society. If society is ready and will to accept and support gay marriage then fine, but if it isn't homosexuals shouldn't be able to compel such support. We live in a democracy, such issues should be decided by the voters and their elected representatives. Tim
