you do realize that there are good reasons for these things right? it wouldnt do to build a house that collapses or burns down around you now would it? as for hunting or fishing, again this is wildlife management, and it is a good thing to make sure game animals are not over harvested.


get married? its as simple as filling out the necessary paper work.


self medicate? are you qualified to get your own prescriptions? do you understand the intricacies of drug interactions? do you know what medications are properly used for high blood pressure? diabetes? etc.


you want to kill yourself? you dont need governent help for that, or have you become a big government guy?



public locomotion? there is no right to drive, so the government can regulate that as they see fit.


collect rainwater? you really need the government to tell you what rain barrel you need? do you know how to decontaminate water?

Tell me again, why I need you looking out for me?


Maybe I should look out and think for you.

To lay your hands on someone today, give them a massage, you need to spend $14k to go through massage school to do that! And anyone can learn massage from DVD's and books!

Point to me if you will, the specific portion of the Constitution which grants the government the power to regulate marriage.

If the Left would realize that it doesn't......then maybe they wouldn't need to spend so much time demanding that LGBT folks be granted the right to get married when the government has no constitutional authority to prevent it.


See if you can grasp the simple concept that you shouldn't have to beg the government to grant you permission to marry someone when they have no legal standing to prevent you from marrying them.

When you get that....then you can move on to the others.
