We've got two problems in America that, if we could get rid of, we'd be set for a good long time.
"Stop liking what I don't like!"
and
"You must like what we tell you to like!"
If we were free to like what we like and dislike what we dislike freely and without interference from the outside we'd be doing pretty damned good.
This does not forbid convincing me that I should like or dislike something, your just not allowed to forbid me from liking or disliking something.
There's too many people who've got it in their heads that "convince" synonymous with "force."
And convince on their side also includes the use of force by the government because they don't want to get their hands directly dirty.
