Not 5 minutes ago, I had two, pretty young white women stop by my door and ask me to sign a petition to urge the State of Illinois to pass a law to make it illegal to fire an employee based on their sexual orientation. They were with the "Campaign for Human Rights".

I told them I thought gays should be able to fire straights for being straight, that blacks should be able to fire whites for being white, and all vice versa. They simply could not grasp the logic of freedom. They couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that governments are and always have been the biggest offenders against human rights.

I asked them "how would this law be enforced"? I got blank stares. I said "it will be enforced by men with guns". Men who will use deadly force if the violator of the law resists to a substantial degree. Did they consider that a "violation of human rights"? I don't think this even registered with them.

They were sincere and well-meaning, just not very thoughtful.
