Nope. It is unfair to decieve people. Of course there are limits to freedom. That is why we have laws. Clinton said individual rights are not as important as the rights of the state. That is not the same. Link - maybe later. Ever since deja.com sold out to google I can't seem to find the information I want as rapidly as I could. I may be able to find the exact quote before the edit time expires. If so, I will add it to this response.

Zonkie, Here is some George Will gibberish which Alta Vista can not translate into English: But such warnings may be overwhelmed by what Kass calls "the technological imperative" -- whatever science can do, will be done. That imperative seems irresistible because today's moral vocabulary is so impoverished that society can hardly even formulate good intentions. Part of that vocabulary is desiccated utilitarianism that weighs only tangible harms and benefits: If something reduces an individual's suffering or improves an individual's well-being, it should be done. Another part is simplistic libertarianism -- anything consensual should be permissible and anything that expands choices is good. sacbee.com Scumbria
