Scarecrow Akhbar said:I can trace my philosophy to first principles and argue back up from there.
The principles are:
It's my life.
From that I derive:
It's my money I earned with my skills and my time in my life.
Since it's my money, it's not your money, and it's not anyone else's money. It's mine, all mine.
Since it is MY money, the great mythical "We" that SouthernDemocrat takes pitiful shelter behind cannot decide how I should spend it.
The "We" has to take it via force, or threat of force. This is "taxation" at it's worst. That the mob has power won't be denied. That the mob is right is usually a false statement.
I cannot be compelled by the mob to "care" about anything I do not wish to care about.
My failure to care about whatever the mob wants to feel angst about today is not a flaw, it's called "freedom".
The mob's refusal to care about whatever it is that concerns me is symptomatic of the peculiar law that states that knowledge of an issue is inversely proportional to the tonnage of brain tissue collected together to study that issue.
You certainly have a right to your opinions. Most including me disagree with you. Storry.
