    If I were to start running Romex between all my neighbors houses it would be “unsafe” and “a fire hazard” but if the government does it its “a power grid”

    If I were to start gathering all the kids I can find and lock them in a room with me it would be “kidnapping” but if the government does it its “school”

    Braindead argument.

        I never consented to having fluoride removed from my water. Why is your right to be a weapons grade dumb cunt more important than my right to not spent tens of thousands more on my healthcare?

          If you think that someone tampering with your drinking water without your consent is unethical, then we seem to be in agreement…?

          (The right to affordable healthcare is a positive right, whereas the right to freedom from intervention is a negative right; they are not in the same category.)
