For people on the right, how much interference do they want with sexual and reproductive conduct? Flag burning? Dirty words on TV? Nipples in public? I consider myself, and am generally considered by others, to be on the right. I want very little to no intervention in any of those areas. Maybe a little intervention against public nudity (but even then I'm not leading a campaign against it, just accepting the fact that people want such laws, and that I don't consider such laws to either be unconstitutional or a grave injustice), and certainly things like non-consensual sexual acts should be interfered with, but generally I'm against heavy government interference. With Lane3's seatbelt case I'm against the exact current law for both practical reasons and reasons of principle. If they modified the law in such a way as to deal with her objections while still maintaining a seatbelt requirement than most of the practical objections would go away, but the reasons of principle would remain. I'm also mostly with Jim S on the "right to be fools" idea.
