I understand your wishes, your likes and dislikes, but they are not sufficient for someone to compel me to live along those same lines. I can't get from the idea that you or I like something to the conclusion that we are justified in passing laws just because we like them. So, I wonder what justifies the desire to force other people to live a certain way?
