They win this time.... (Wisconsin)

RE: They win this time.... (Wisconsin)
The government should have no right to prevent any organizations of consenting adults, so long as there is no force, fraud or coercion involved. If 10,000 people want to have a mega group marriage they can do so as far as I'm concerned.

I completely agree. The government has no right to destroy a PB4P organization! Especially since the majority of the population did not want it!

Uh-huh...

Russian history has me disagreeing here. Specifically where communism took over after ousting the parliamentary pseudo-government. There was a horrid civil war over it. A two party system would never have worked under communism (as it appeared in Russia).

I am not old enough to vote but if I was I would only vote for someone with no outside interests with corporations. Lobbying has no place in a successful democracy.

With organization of the masses comes power to the masses. Not a wise decision to allow it in all cases.

The 'right' to stability?

You know, i really don't believe in 'rights'. It doesn't make a lot of sense to allow organization of the people along lines where they feel empowered or worse: entitled.

Empowering people is fine, we should strive to empower more people, particularly minorities. Entitled, now that's a different story. When people feel they deserve something without earning it, well that's not okay.

Empowering people is only fine so long as they are all on your side. After that, it is no longer 'fine'.

I agree about entitlement, hence my view on it Tongue
