“By definition, giving rights to one person means taking rights away from another.  If I have the right to paint my house any color I want, my neighbor loses the right not to have to look at a purple house.  Americans clearly come down on the side of freedoms and rights for individuals and groups, and against restrictions.  They believe in the right of a student to express herself at graduation, or the right of a church to rent a public school gym for its services, or the right of a public school teacher to wear a Star of David on his lapel.  The majority feels those who don’t wish to listen to a prayer at graduation or see the Ten Commandments in a court building have the right to ignore these things – but not the right to stop others from expressing themselves.”
