Thanks for the post. It was interesting in many ways.
The main thing, I think, about what you are saying is that everyone should be ABLE to pick and chose their likes and dislikes and live their own lives as they see fit.
All of us should support your pursuit of happiness with the same energy we pursue our own - maybe more, depending on how we're doing currently with our lives.
Without a healthy right to happiness, there won't be much chance of having any.
