These two > The government turned a blind eye to that [and this was bad] > I do not believe that one person has the right, or should have the power, to force their opinions, views, or ideas on another person. look like a contradiction. Is the your objection the narrow only one person should not have power over the opinions of others, but two or more are fine? If even many people should not have power over the opinion of others, how could the government "turn a blind eye"? Shouldn't it be "correctly stayed out of it"?
