- Touchy, touchy, eh? Goddamn, it is amazing to me to see how angry
- people get when you try to take something away from them that never was
- theirs. A fool of myself, for being an individualist, for saying I have a
- right to my own life?
-
- A waste of bandwidth for saying everyone has a right to be free from
- initiatory force, free from the meddlings of Big Nanny?
-
- That quote of yours just goes to prove my point. The quote is wrong.
- The concept of individual rights entails the subjugation of might
- to *right*, the right to one's own life.
-
- Funny, I don't feel like I am making a fool of myself, but you
- are free to say so.
-
- Amazing.
