But when someone randomly bugs you in public, starts asking you questions and not even telling you his own name or his intentions, would you trust that?

I wouldn't.<<

If he'd grinned and broke the guy's jaw with a right cross, nobody would really object.  But he yelled and groped them, which is just sad. And illegal.

upscale hardware and camping stores sell cans of compressed air with little horns as "boat signals" you know for safety. $7.99.  Those are about the size of two cans of soda and they make a vuvuzela seem like wind chimes on a spring day.  Of course, if it annoyed you, I'm SURE we'd leave them home.

How do you think that would work out? You're saying that governments are obligated to become tyrannies in order to "support" their citizens "to the fullest." Do you have so compassionate a response to the fact that the level of taxation required for this puts many people in poverty and in need of such government assistance? You're describing a circle of government creating need then fulfilling it until a complete totalitarian tyranny is in place. I think there's room for discussion of "social shelters" short of your radical academic justification (or advocacy, as seems more fitting a description here) for tyranny seen here, which seems to me to be rather limited. Perhaps you could expand on your academic urging of tyranny here that you merely hinted at?"

You are so far from reality that I do not know where to begin.. Also I do not know if you really would try to understand...<<

How so? What's unreal about it? The idea that govt owes 100% support to everybody or the idea that people will abuse that commitment?  In Britain people on council housiing refuse to take a pay cut to work.

I tend to think we have a right to a vibrant economy that doesn't require social shelters when jobs run out...
