SJS: You have got to be kidding. What do you call the media furor over this newspaper’s private decision? Live and let live?
What do you call this thread?
I am really fascinated that you percieve the left as “live and let live”, generally. While the left has been the champion of civil rights to privacy in the moral realm, that is always where it fits some other agenda they have, usually an anti-moralism agenda.
The left is the force behind the regulatory state we have. The left is why we need to wear seatbelts, helmets, child seats, etc. The left is why you need an NPDES permit to run a drain, and all sorts of permits.
Add to that things like how many hours you can work, how much you can work for, what sorts of jobs you can do, who you must hire, and all the workplace regulation.
Really? Live and let live?
