Personally, I don't care what behaviour people engage in, as long as it did not effect me. But with governments taking my money and using it to subsidize other people's stupidity, it becomes my problem/intrest!
What a lot of people call "rights" are actually privileges granted by a government and paid for with other people's money. I don't see how you can call the forceful subjugation of others your "right".
The use of big government to enforce stealing and intimidation does not make it legitimate, it just underlines the cowardice of these "cry bullies".
