I'm trying to discern if your goal is outright totalitarianism or what. I asked if you would set any limit on government's power to dictate our personal decisions. Do you know what that means? Can you answer it without diversion?
I can't answer it from your perception that Gubmint Control E'thing; Gubmint BAADDDD.
It's not within my perception of the way things work in the Real World.
But I'm not a Randian, so there's that.
This is your fantasy, and has nothing at all to do with my views. I've explained this to you repeatedly, in fair detail, but you refuse to acknowledge it. I'm not sure you actually comprehend what I post.
You stick with your delusion, if that's your preference. But it makes it even harder to take anything you say seriously.
Okay, then. Take Sun Devil's advice and IGNORE me (he really, really, really needs your attention) so I can converse with the adults. I can't help thinking of John Rogers' quote about Rand:
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
Why do you keep quoting Rand, or stuff about Rand, to me? Who cares? Can you ever focus on the conversation in front of you?
The conversation in this thread is one where you'll claim you're being "forced" into doing something. Maybe it's time for you to reread The Virtue of Selfishness.
St. Ayn had no children (but did she have abortions?). If all women shared her beliefs, the species would go extinct.
