I tend to agree with Salmo inmost things. Like here. I really appreciate the ideas put forth here, both on the site and in this thread because it makes me think, reexamine my ideas, and it brings in new ones.

One thing I learned in my youth, from my parents, church, teachers, and so on was that my freedoms stopped when they infringed on somebody else's. I may passionately believe in something but I should not force someone else to follow that belief. That is the difficulty of living in a free society; one must tolerate beliefs you don't accept. And you must accept, or at least render unto Caesar, decisions you didn't support.
