Can't you see that what you are attacking is socialism? How, pray tell, do you get me
to pay for your emergency room, unless you elect some thugs to extort my money to pay
it?

Nope... Because if the govm't didn't require insurance companies to NOT discriminate,
and offer policies to fools as well as the wise, I would buy my insurance from a
company that plainly said, "We do not pay for the consequences of fools who sholve pine
cones into body cavities." My insurance would be cheaper, nor more expensive.

Why, becuase you were shoving pine cones while driving? If so, then you should be
assigned to a penal colony for the rest of your natural life....

Yes it is... Where there is freedom, there is risk. I'll take the risks that go with
freedom. The difference is, I am willing to pay the consequences, and you want someone
else to pay.

I will? And I suppose that you and people like you will "see to it" that I "do with
less freedom." Those who willingly and recklessly place other people at serious risk
should be punished severely... If the punishment were swift enough, and severe enough,
fewer people would shove pine cones while driving.
> I care about your family more than I care about your freedom. Do you?
Give me a break! Please... DON'T care for my family.... You have no obligation to do
so, and I would appreciate it if you would mind your own business.

No sir... It would be wise to throw everyone who does so into the penal colony with a
hoe and a sack of seed.

That is what it aways boils down to with "your kind of folks" isn't it? "If you don't
do what we say, you cannot live with us... go somewhere else." Suppose we just round
you and your guys up and "send you someplace else?" But I have a better idea....
Suppose we just make you pay your own way? In which case you would either wise up or
starve to death, and frankly, I'm not sure which I would prefer.

The "party" or the "gang" you collect about you, or who more likely collected you about
them, and voted your thugs into office to tell the rest of us how we must behave.

I tell you what.... You just don't contribute to how lavishly or how niggardly I am
rewarded.. That way, you won't have a complaint either way... Right? In short, why not
just mind your own business and leave the rest of us to our own devices, and the
rewards or tragedies that result from them? You pay your way, and I'll pay mine.. and
you can contribute to whoever else you feel is deserving... Just don't force my
participation. It doesn't seem all that difficult a concept to me.

Because men love evil rather than good... Because more people are lazy than
industrious.... Because more people are beggers rather than producers ... Because given
the option, more people would require me to be responsible for them rather than being
responsible for themselves... That's just for starters... The list goes on.

You're a real piece of art.... I thought you were serious there for a while... Yep, you
had me going... I admit... Now I see you were just joking all along.

There you go again.... "If you don't do as I say, you must leave." But, my egotistical
and lunatic friend... There is another option...

That's right! You guessed it.
