"authoritarians who wish to elevate their personal preferences to the stature of moral law"

Oh yeah - being against personal irresponsibility, disaffection and alienation, sloth and laziness, immorality, promiscuity, ideology, and big government is just a "personal preference". Nothing to do with making a better, freer society.

Are you French or something, or did you believe all that postmodernism you were taught at college?

I clearly described examples of mere personal preference which have been falsely conflated with morality and enacted into law on that fraudulent basis (e.g. Sunday-closing blue laws).

Conflating examples of genuine moral issues (e.g. irresponsibility and laziness) with my point is either stupidity or dishonesty on your part -- which is it?
