How about the government just stays out of people's business as long as they aren't breaking the law?
The thing is - The "Law" says it's illegal to do a lot of things which could fall under personal freedoms. It's weird. Libs say a person should be able to grow pot in their closet, smoke it til they're stupid, and never step out the door with it, and it should be legal. But conservatives say this person should go to prison.
Libs say a dude should be allowed to marry a dude. Repubs are very much against it.
BOTH parties want the govt to get involved in personal stuff. They just disagree on which things.
