- I think that you did not read the second and third sentences of my
- response. If they have a different opinion from me, then I do not have
- a problem with that. That does change though when they try to stop me
- from doing something when it goes against what they believe and the law's
- sanction. At that point, I believe that I must defend what I am doing and
- then try to punish them. An example involves abortion. I believe in the
- abortion right. Since the pro-lifers attempt to make pro-choicers
- relinquish their abortion right, I do not have a problem with defending the
- abortion right and then attempting to punish the pro-lifers by taking away
- one of their rights.
-
- My position is not "do what I say or I'll kill you." I have a
- modified "live and let live" philosophy as one can see from above. I do not
- believe in turning the other cheek. I do believe in an eye for an eye.
