Not as long as our entire "society" is based upon using "government" to initiate force upon our fellow human beings. Not as long as we "justify" the use of force upon others to impose our personal interests with the club of government force. Not until we accept that no person, group, or government should ever be able to use any force that is not strictly retaliatory against those who initiate force. Not until we REALY believe that ALL people are equals and should be free to do anything that is not an initiation of force upon another. Not until we believe that we are not superior to others, that we are not Gods among men, that we have no right to dictate how others live simply to serve our personal beliefs. We are far less liberal and progressive than actually getting along would require. It would take an quantum leap of enlightenment for the tyrants amongst us to accept the ideas that anyone else but them should be free.

Live and let live.
