We're just going to have to agree to disagree gwahir. You and I both know our worldviews are radically different and neither of us will change our minds.

I will say though that:
1. It is nobody's business to force people to act or not act in a way that is not almost universally viewed as detrimental.
2. What barbaric customs are still in effect in America? I realize that you think America is god awful (and I won't argue the politics with you) but the people as a whole are really not hurting anybody.
