We exclude our opinions and preferences from the messaging
- Personal opinions or preferences are irrelevant when considering how to apply the Legal Principle. Instead, we follow the formula.
- The ability to respect the rights of others, even when we disagree, is the highest expression of a 3L attitude. This is the way Live and Let Live promotes communication.
- In fact, the clearest way to advocate in the interests of a Live and Let Live world is to defend a competent adult’s right to engage in activities we personally find immoral, unhealthy, unwise, unwarranted, foolish, or even disgusting.
- Advocating for an individual’s legal right to behave in ways that may harm themselves, like eating an ice cream or saying something prejudiced, is not an endorsement.
- Our political discourse needs to evolve so we can recognize and value the vital difference between how the law should apply and our unrelated personal opinions and preferences dictate.
