> <topped> > The general principle is that one has the right to do as one wishes, > <tailed> Sounds selfish to me. I happy to live in a society where, no matter what my circumstances, I have the right to education, healthcare and housing. I also happy that the state meddles in my affairs and invades my privacy to make sure I am giving my children access to these things. I'm happy that if I were ever become addicted to drugs, the state would intervene to protect me and my family. There are those in the UK who'd like to cut back on what the state provides, and have individuals pay for there own healthcare and their children's education etc. These are people who can afford to make these choices at the expense of others. They don't care that they'd the push those at the edge even further away from it. They only want to take from society, not give to it. So I'm glad you keep reciting your LP dogma, as forces me to remember just how lucky I am. Scott A

(...) I'd agree... Assuming of course that the person is of sound mind, and that the rights of others are not being violated in doing so. Clear cut example, I don't have the right to fill up a truck with explosives and then drive to your house and (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
