I'm against states expressing a preference one way or the other.

State? I think you mean society.

No.

I wrote state because I meant state. Societies can't express preferences.
Members of societes can (forcibly) *impose* their preferences on other
members, through the mechanics of the state, but the society as a whole
cannot have a preference, it's not an entity capable of having preferences.

Thanks for playing, though.
