hence my point... I'm tempted to reply harshly but...
The first pattern was property ( as well as is used affects others ), the second pattern was a belief or similar ( others not affected ).
So, examples.
Car/Guns == Public Safety ( other people may be affected, socks was a joke, but you can argue that the buying of something, can be regulated by the seller as he wishes )
Fairytale/Sexual Preference/Religion/Red Hair == Does not affect other people... ( plus, some of these you can't change, and should have no bearing.. they are identifiers of people/culture/etc )
Violent Religious/Red Headed Person? We already have other methods/laws for this, it's called Laws against committing other crimes... The Red/Religion is superfluous...
I'm sure in this oversimplification I made bad analogy.. again, the analogy should not be needed ( but it unfortunately is.. )
>> Fairytale/Sexual Preference/Religion/Red Hair == Does not affect other people
Yes, it was. These things do affect other people. Negatively? That's a subjective opinion, but all of these things are unique by case anyways. What do I mean? The fairytales of one person may result in some delusion that affects their family and relatives, and they abandon their social responsibilities to chase the white prince/queen/whatever. Also, one's religion has an affect on one's actions. If your religion says "kill the infidel", then complete adherence to such religion endangers others.
I'm not arguing that people should be registered, but the idea that ideology != affecting people is incorrect.

At least you can admit that. That's more than some people can say. +1
