Let me worry about how I want to live my life, and whether or not I want to stuff a shark fin in my gullet.

That's what a Conservative government is all about. Do we really need our government to tell us it's wrong to eat shark fins? I'm a smart guy. My morals are pretty decent. I have the ability to decide this kind of stuff for myself. The less things we allow to be governed on our behalf, the freer we are. That's the difference between a Conservative and Liberal government. Liberals want to govern everything, while Conservatives just want to govern the things that need to be governed on our behalf, and let us govern everything else for ourselves.
This is exhibit A of how/why Rob Anders still has a seat.
