(ignore) "don't have the right to tell us anything about foresting"
So you get a response like - "Until you freaking tree huggers trade in your SUV for a Prius don't tell us what to do about forest managment in my backyard."
Or - "Those nutty fundamentalist Christians whose hatred of gays is ironically unChristian have no right to tell me what movies I watch over the internet in my own home. It's unAmerican, dammit!!."
It's so much fun I'm going to copyright the technique and start a political campaign management company.

Man, still smarting over that tree hugger thread? Get over it, that was yesterday.
Interestingly I agree with both of the statements that you seem to propose would represent the right vs the left. No one has the right to tell you what to do in your own home as long as those activities fall within the law. Want to change the law? Go for it.
