Maybe in US society, but not Canadian society. There are no laws that
dictate what consenting adults may or may not do in private. In fact,
one can even choose to trade sex for money or other goods and services;
prostitution is legal in Canada. You see, in Canada, we are free to
act without the interference of government.


Somehow I doubt it.

For example, I know for a fact that you may not "consent" to being killed,
even in the privacy of your own home. Thus, you are full of ****.

Congress or the state legislature gets to make the decision


In a free country, the individual gets to make the decision.


Er, no, in an anarchy the individual gets to make the decision. In any sort
of civilized system, an individual's decisions are circumscribed by the
greater needs of the society in which he lives.


There is no "right" to
engage in homosexual sodomy in several states.


Only because the state has taken the right away.


The state cannot take away a right that doesn't exist.

You misspelled incompetent.


No, you misread logician.


This dishonesty on your part is despicable.


What dishonesty would you be referring to?


Lets see - there are all those claims you make that are completely
bogus.


Sez you.

There are your attempts to ignore what is said and warp the
statements into something they are not.


Don't blame me if you are imprecise in your erudition.

There are your deliberate
misquotes.


Such as?

You have not conducted yourself in any way that would
lead anyone to trust anything you write.


Pot, kettle, black.
