    Where do you get off?

    I'd say that self-determination isn't a created right, at least not man-created. Before The Fall, we didn't need self-determination; afterwards, government was created--by God-- out of necessity, but it was any one man having authority over another that was artificial.

    Where do you get off?

    Wow, this new quote system is annoying. The right to vote may seem created but it's really just an extension of the right of self-determination, the same right to steer one's society as others.

    Where do you get off?

    As can you. But rights can't be created. They are or they aren't. You may call it an entitlement, which has been created, but that's still not a right. You have the right to seek healthcare. That's where it stops. No one, absent an agreement, has to provide it. That, btw, is probably where the...

    Where do you get off?

    Rights can not be manufactured in this way--absent an agreement. Firefighting, for example, is only almost a right because the city and firefighters have referred into an agreement with the citizenry. If a doctor enters into such an agreement, then unless he abrogates, he'd better get in there...

    Where do you get off?

    Yep. BUT I'd maybe keep catastrophic coverage. And eliminate the prohibition on buying across state lines. The cost would plummet. Same with auto insurance. You're liable for any damages you cause, no matter what you have to do to pay off your debt. insurance would be a wise choice, and it'd be...

    Where do you get off?

    Health care, good, bad, or otherwise, is NOT a right. If it is, someone HAS TO provide it. If you can't find a doctor willing to provide it, do you frog-march him in the treatment room and force him at gunpoint to do so? What's destroying free-market health care is interference in the free...

    Where do you get off?

    Ok, so I've found nobody that objects to these principles. That means we're all conservatives against the welfare state, ObamaCare, etc?

    LOCAL cops spying on your cellphone use

    Thought it was just the feds doing this, that your local cops are "the good guys?" Wrong. The US government doesn't want you to know the cops are tracking you | Trevor Timm | Comment is free | theguardian.com

    Where do you get off?

    The bus, that is. I read things written by those with fundamentally screwed-up positions--you know who you are--and I wonder, at what point do you depart from reason? So I figure maybe it would be useful to start with some basic principles and actually see at what point those individuals say...

    How is this anything less than first degree murder?

    Yes, the oft-forgotten victim still suffered the same injuries and losses. Mob action is no excuse.

    Yes, that's a good point.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    sigh... This is another of the all-too-common *******izations of phrases, kind of like how "couldn't care less" became "could care less"; or how Mellencamp wrote "I remember when you could stop a clock," believing it to mean the opposite of what it does--that she is so hideous, clocks break when...

    Unless you worship Christ, "that" and 75¢ won't even get you a cup of coffee. It's good as far as it goes, but you need a whole lot more than that.
