Lucyboo, I see you are very passionate about your schooling! I hope that you will reflect again on your blanket statement about a person being able to do whatever they want with their own land. There are as many different ideas on what's right and how to live as there are people in the world. Many folks select their neighborhoods based on the restrictions set forth in their HOAs. They like the uniformity and predictability. Now mind you, I selected my property to make sure that I have minimal covenants and no HOA to deal with. Live and let live.
Here's the thing, your rights end where another's begin. Laws get passed to protect people's rights. There may have been one person that was a really bad neighbor and so a restrictive law was put on the books to protect evryone else from that neighbor's antics. For example, I have a rooster and am legally allowed to have him. Development has sprouted up and if he were to crow at 5 am every day about 25 households would be impacted. I choose to keep him in the barn at night so that he is muffled and I don't disurb my neighbors. I want to do unto others as I would want them to do unto me, so to speak. I want to be polite. Others don't care and the laws are created to make them be polite. If I had 10 roosters and didn't care who I woke up, someone might be motivated to get a law passed banning them, and rightly so.
As an aside, you sound a little defensive about being homeschooled. You may find that some future employers may question how good of an education you have received. It is very important that you present yourself in your best light at all times to combat that notion. I realize this is a message board, but developing good habits are important. I noticed over 20 typographical, spelling and grammatical errors in your post. If you are saying that you receive a better education than most, then you need to present yourself in a polished, professional way. I challenge you, as a student, to go back over and edit your post to reflect the high-caliber student you wish to be!
