"Or their mind could be working faster than their fingers" You are certainly coming up with some excellent and plausible answers. <g> "Gov't IS coercion. It is the very essence of coercion." Do you consider Totalitarian Governments to be of the same fundamental essence as Democratic societies?? "THE PILLARS OF DEMOCRACY Sovereignty of the people. Government based upon consent of the governed. Majority rule. Minority rights. Guarantee of basic human rights. Free and fair elections. Equality before the law. Due process of law. Constitutional limits on government. Social, economic, and political pluralism. Values of tolerance, pragmatism, cooperation, and compromise." usinfo.state.gov "Have you heard of something called "the military draft"?" Yes, I have. "Because it based on COERCION BY THREAT OF USE OF DEADLY FORCE! That's why!" Nationalized Health is kept in place through threats of DEADLY force? Take a deep breath. You are getting carried away. "remember, you must bring your suit in THEIR courts" In Canada the Courts belong to all the people. All accused are entitled to be represented by an attorney who will look to their best interests. Members of the Government are subject to the laws of the land, as are private citizens. "By your standard, I must be a blithering, slobbering idiot" What does Holly say?? <g> "No one has the right to tell another who they shall like or dislike." "their mind could be working faster than their fingers." Let us admit, then, the possibility that there is a disparity in speed...or something.
