I know, whenever someone doesn't like
someone else's political views, they call them a
"Nazi" or "fascist." Too true. But Hitler made so
many comments about sacrificing the individual to
the group that it's a legitimate thing to mention in the
context of this discussion. But I also mentioned
Mao, socialists, feminists, etc., so I think it's pretty
even-handed. And I'm not making a personal attack
on anyone in particular.
At any rate, "group values enforced by group will" is a
sickening idea. It is that type of thinking that leads to
the empowerment of tyrants like Hitler and
many,
many, many other dictators.
"But at least we're free of the tyranny of safe streets,
orderly and effective schools, low taxes, and honest
government."
Yeah, thanks to incompent, ineffective government.
We need more power and freedom to take care of
our problems.
As for drug dealing, it's just like government to
empower thugs. For some politician or dictator to
tell grown men and women what substances they
can and can't put in their own bodies... how insane.
We learned from our mistake with alcohol, but
somehow we can't put two and two together when it
comes to other substances. A "victimless crime" is
no crime at all. It's just another example of control
people/ protect people from themselves/ sacrifice
the individual to the group- type thinking.
And I should mention that a "pre-teen" is a minor, not
a consenting adult.
