Taking advantage of Bill Stone:
How about simply that they exist?
Nope. Wrong again. Other adult people exist. They
are responsible for themselves.
Yes, but, if your own existence causes the extreme
pain in another's life, then what?
Too bad. They need to get over it. No one has ANY
obligation to apologise for existing.
You might have stopped breathing long enough to
ended my misery ....
See above.
Government is the will of the people - for the most
part -, is it not?
Wrong again. Government is the will of those who are
in control of it.
Power, is a colloquialism predicated upon the idea
of control, and which imparts to the holder the
ability to as the holder pleases, does it not?
And no legitimate power exist over another adult
person that that adult person has not explicitly and
voluntarily given and which can at any time be
withdrawn.
