re: #409 Higgs Boson’s Mate

What constitutes their rights expands each day. They insist not just on their rights under the law, they now insist that they have the right to make others act in accordance with the religious beliefs of of the rights-insisters. Inasmuch as the religious beliefs of those who insist thus are conveyed to them by people with their own agendas we may well be the envy of the ayatollahs before mid-century.

They believe it’s their right because it always has been, effectively. So they claim their rights are being threatened. In fact it’s their PREROGATIVES that are being threatened, but there’s no reason why their prerogatives should override someone else’s rights.
