I feel that the government has to supply a valid and compelling reason to infring on any American's pursuit of happiness.
Liberals and conservatives both agree that they want the government to stay out of our daily lives as much as possible. Both sides also agree that if the government is to interfere then they must have solid reasons to show that if they don't interfere, than society will be harmed.
The government says that kids can't drive. I think that there is enough evidence for the government to limit kid's pursuit of happiness.
The government says that we can not steal our neighboor's stuff. I think there is merit in the government stepping in.
The government says no to gays being married. The jury is out on this one. I have not seen a compelling argument why gays being married harms society. Without the evidence of harm, then the government can not interfere.
