Re: "You are too in love with your own ideas. You need a cold shower. case closed"

Well, no, I rather like the idea of Individual Freedom...not my own idea, thank-you. By the by, it is sad that you choose to toss out ad hominen hooey rather than honestly responding on point. You've made no further case at all.

Re: "this hasn't been a conversation"

Well, by definition it was, though it certainly is lacking now that you've become so upset at my honest thoughts about your prior statements that you've resorted to ad hominem hooey. Frankly, as it stands however, you don't have to say "I don't know that Individual Freedom is proven to be necessary in good government for people, like you do," because you made it plain earlier. Hey, I disagree, so there ya go.

Re: "I think America is a fine experiment, but it is only 200 years old. The durability of this experiment is not proved. (case open)"

Durability is a fine criteria sometimes, but say, if Al Qaeda introduced a virus on this continent and wiped America out, it would say nothing of the value of a government including lots of Individual Freedom VS, say, Talibanic rule(or a dictatorship, you name it), to a given society of people.

Re: "wouldn't want to see you hurt yourself with that American flag you are waving so wildly"

As part of your ad-hominem hooey, the above interpretation of my words is clueless, given that I know that it isn't the American Flag I'm waving, it is, rather, the flag of Freedom(which sadly again, is not fully understood by the American people today, and the U.S. Government certainly doesn't adhere to it nearly enough).
