It takes a level of maturity to say "I disagree strong with this, even find it disgusting, but it's not my life and therefore not my business." Modern Liberalism, in contrast, is a very juvenile doctrine. It seeks, like a child, to be protected from the scary things around it. It views risk as inherently evil, rather than a challenge to be overcome; it views contrary ideas as dangerous and therefore to be suppressed; it views anything different as inherently evil and therefore to be attacked; it views throwing tantrums as appropriate behavior. And in all things, it wants Mommy and Daddy to protect it, in the form of government intervention. <br /><br />When you put adults together they establish rules, codes of conduct, and social norms that allow everyone to live their lives with a minimum of friction--constitutions, in other words. When you put children together, you get CHAZ. It's actually worse than "Lord of the Flies"; those children in reality (as opposed to the book/movie) acted with a maturity that today's Liberals can't imagine.
