I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me.
Jesse Ventura

Government, Business, Live

Plutarch

Men, Moral, Far

Christian Bale

Terry Eagleton

Life, Power, End
