There are many so-called hypotheticals which don't fit the axiom of 'people should be free to do what they want, unless their exercise of their freedom intrudes on the rights of others'.

- drug users
- hunters
- polluters
- developers
- drunk drivers
- prostitutes
- porn users
etc.

Of course, there are indirect, cascading or risk effects from each of these groups, just as there are from more novell activities like gay marriage. Furthermore, should society's costs, in the form of increased taxes or insurance premiums, be factored into the intrusion equation? Seems to me it's not as simple as it looks.
