Agreed.
Quote:
I believe we as a collective, do have the right to limit the actions of individuals within our communities.

Since I do not believe in the moral or practical authority of collectives, I suppose we can file this in "agree to disagree."

I find the US penchant for individualism quite contrary to my world view. Kind of makes me glad I am not an American.

A question: what is it about individualism which disturbs you? Nobody ever said that individualists don't believe in charity, or helping others, or any of those other community-strengthening values: I simply don't believe in being -forced- to partake, or in being -forced- to live according to what is popular among my neighbors. What about this do you find disturbing?
