Oh, but they are. There is a direct link between thinking that it's OK
to ask/force someone else to support you, or someone else who's not
deserving, and thinking it's OK to cheat a store out of what is rightly
theirs.
Either you respect property rights, or you don't. You can't only sort of
respect them.

Essentially wrong. But the power of the drumbeat preaching self
sacrifice is strong, so I can't get too upset with people not knowing
better. It's when they try to argue for it that I try to stop arguing
because we have no basis of agreement.
But we are far afield of the original thread. And I can get along with
people that believe in self sacrifice, as long as I'm not the self
they're sacrificing.
