Anarchy is not an option my little infant. Like it or not, there are rules. I know, children hate rules so you abhor them. Rules, not children that is.Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live; it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. -Oscar Wilde
What?
Selfishness, in your case, is demanding that others accept and condone a way of life they find sinful. If they resist, people of your ilk vilify them, demean them, berate them, or even target them for destruction. That my friend is the epitome of selfishness. People of your ilk cannot stand for one instant that there are people opposed to the idea of homosexual marriage, or for that matter, standing up for their religious beliefs to avoid being part of them.
And if we are going to start quoting people, try practicing what you preach:
"Intolerance is a form of egotism, and to condemn egotism intolerantly is to share it."
-George Santayana
No one is requiring you to LIVE a different lifestyle or even "condone" it. But selfishness is demanding other live like YOU. So, YES, ACCEPTING that others live a different lifestyle that has no effect on what you do is call US-selfishness.
You have perfectly described a typical liberal.
Yes, anarchy certainly is an option. There are millions of options short of the Nazi police state you envisage.
