"A year from now, ten, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running; I aim to misbehave." - Malcolm Reynolds

Why the downvote? I am from Brazil and here we have many politicians who think that we need law to prohibit this because their religion its against it, and by the news I see the same things happening in the USA with the same-sex marriage.

You don't like, don't do. No need to make illegal to others do.

As a brazilian this makes me sad and amused at the same time.

> Political leaders, voters, and activists are well-advised to follow the dictum, often applied to medicine, to “first, do no harm.” A plausible rule of sthumb, to guard us against doing harm as a result of overconfident ideological beliefs, is that one should not forcibly impose requirements or restrictions on others unless the value of those requirements or restrictions is essentially uncontroversial among the community of experts in conditions of free and open debate. Of course, even an expert consensus may be wrong, but this rule of thumb may be the best that such fallible beings as ourselves can devise.

We would have great beneficies if all religious politicians would think about this before acting.

>1) You really shouldn't have an open conversation about >knowledge that can easily kill people. I can easily kill someone with a rock. Just hit in the head, repeatedly. Why that should be a secret?

Well, who wound think that the iron are sending spam?

Why such prohibition?
