If you don't like the idea, DON'T DO IT. Nobody is forcing anyone to do it. They are simply providing the mechanism for you to do it if you want it.

(Kind of like abortion... You don't like it? Don't have one... But of course, those personal-freedom-loving conservatives want to tell everybody else what THEY should do...)


Yes, just like those enviro-wheenies want to dictate what light bulb I use in my house. Or what mileage my car can get.

Too many mandates and not enough liberty on both sides.
