smiling great big while nodding head: Does anyone here know what driving force and unquenchable desire makes the socialist/fascist, democrat/republican, liberal/conservative, slave/politician want to force their collective/personal form of tyranny on me?
 -- Mike, Norwalk
 
'me', being every emprical individual 'me' being the sole foundation of society. 'me' being the noble sovereign from which all authority, and power generates.
 -- Mike, Norwalk
 
Right on, Jimmy!
 -- Me, Augusta, GA
 
Mike, everybody wants to act like God and create the world in their own image. That's why they just can't leave other people alone to live their own lives. It is pure sacrilegious arrogance, the same Lucifer himself indulged in.
 -- Ken, Allyn, WA
 
... because that is the antitisis of "society", we are beings of societal relationships, and that by very definition means that there is a series of trade-offs between the individual and the group. We are no longer grunting solitary hunters (well, most of us are not), we are now grunting social cavemen... ;-) So, it is not a matter of "leaving everybody else alone" but rather of "respecting others".
