That is just not true!

What a silly thing to say. If you knew that you would not get a ticket no matter what, would you routinely drive through red lights? I doubt it, and not because I think you are some sort of saint of caring or self control.

It is what a society has the right and need to do.

Maybe, but what has that do with anything? Remember the issue isn't red lights, obeying them or not, or punishing people to not obey them. All of that was cooperation, and then how well your red light example fit as an example of cooperation. Enforcing red lights is reasonable and important. But that isn't the point under dispute. The point is that enforcing them is not an example of cooperation, but rather of compulsion and enforcement, and your using it as an example of how liberals support cooperation is a a bit silly, both because it isn't cooperation, and because almost everyone not just liberals supports it.
