I agree with your approach.

This is society though, hence it is an issue of law and people trying to tell other people what to do.

The Elbonia rite crowd don't just want this for themselves. They want to ensure that their vision of "what is right" is put onto everybody. And the AnkleShowers want their vision of "what is right" put onto everybody. And everyone else has their opinion too.

And the shit-shouting continues until finally someone says "But we can ALLLLLL agree that we want to protect our children yes?"

The issue has never been technical. It is how society has it's debates. Things like each issue becoming a two party extreme. Things like media rules that "both sides get equal airtime" even if one is a tinfoil hat wearing idiot.

As a society, we won't get properly better until we debate better and can accept middle grounds.
