Woland- so did Alexander Hamilton, and he believed otherwise. If you actually read my quote (or its source) you'd see that it took 150 years for the Supreme Court to resolve their debate.

There's a big difference between a contract one voluntarily enters into, and one that is formed by others and imposed on you just because you were born there.

Gdw, my first inclination was to poop when ever and where ever I pleased, smear food all over my face with my fingers, and throw a tantrum every time I didn't get my way. How irresponsible of my parents to condition me out of these behaviors against my will!
Like I said, you're not being forced to continue this social contract. Simply give up your citizenship and move to a place without an implied social contract. Maybe you'll get lucky and convince the Somali pirates to let you go.

Why don't you give up all the benefits of being born in the northern part of America and then no-one would "impose" anything on you. Maybe we should examine the diseases you have or had to cope with, the vaccinations you received while you could have chosen not to and and the infant mortality rate in that awful place you live where the government wants to control everything. Thank the heavens there are smart enough people to inpose these contracts and controls to give us the lives we have. Have you ever lived in a country where people are really and truly poor or afraid. Even if you say yes the answer should be no because you have always had the opportunity of running back to your own country and moan and complain over the Internet over all the government imposed rules you don't like. 6 Billiob people in this world would love to have your terrible life. Are you willing to give it up for "freedom"? |

It is very difficult for some people to recognize that they are in the very small group of winners of the "lottery of birth" and that their advantages are not the result of their superiority to the rest of the world.

Perhaps believing that oneself is a winner in the lottery of births is a sign of a healthy culture? I think there are probably hundreds of linguistic groups, for whom their name for themselves is "the human beings." (But only some of them refer to all other people as "prey" . . . .)

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |
