Ah ha... words like constitutional and priviledge creeping in now. I have a constitutional right to not have my freedom of choice imposed on by the state without rational reason and only justified, on balance my rights being infringed is a lessor harm that what will happen to others. That is the place we are at in the absence of a formalised constitutional documents, but in the reality that our current legislative framework creates. Not only that but the state does not bequeath priviledge, it is only capable of taking it away. My right to live breathe and make choices is not bestowed on by any govt.....

Why do we persist in not understanding that?

The fact that we don't have a constitutionally formalised recognition of our "infringed privileges" has no bearing on whether the current oppressive irrationality should be contested...

You can feel as privileged as you want about the state not being as onerous as it could be, but I know and so does every history student that the onset of an aggressive state against individual freedoms is not thwarted by pretending its not happening.

I have no objection to moderating idiocy, I think we have a responsibility to those not understanding that.... but no-one yet has provided a answer to my question??

If this is not a suitable place for thrashing out issues that affect us as a community - where is?
