Starchild - That sounds a bit like neocon philosophy
to me. i.e. "You're either with us, or you're with
the terrorist".
I thought it was clear that I have been advocating for
the removal of these laws, not for promoting them -
whether they be of privilege or rights violation in
nature.
Additionally, I am opposed to vindicating the
existence of the state by attempting to level existing
laws and privileges.
To me this is basic libertarian philosophy and I find
it disturbing that we're even having to discuss this
internally. I must be going insane.
