Example of Neither Side Understanding Individual Rights

Very often I see both liberals and conservatives in this country argue passionately about some issue, but upon closer investigation discover that neither side understands the fundamental principles involved -- often the fundamental concept of individual rights and how they apply on that issue.

Greg Perkins has done an excellent job identifying such a situation and explaining quite succinctly. The example is the issue of pharmacies and drugs and the "freedom of conscience" of the pharmicist.
