Dumb, but no less dumb than those politicians who deny rights of gays or anyone else.
I have lately become unconvinced that certain "rights" have any natural basis.
While it's tempting to engage in a philosophical discussion of what "rights" are, suffice it that if you have to extort concessions from ordinary folk -- not prevent aggression, mind you, just coerce people to "approve" of what you're doing -- then I believe it's safe to say you're not transacting in a
natural right.
I believe I'll leave it at that.
