it wouldn't be right for everyone.
Some people seem to think they are very bad people, and that they would do very bad things, but for outside influences.
If this is so, I am all for them having their outside influences.

As for your "do you believes..."

If you expect to live in a society that benefits from educated children, then you need to pay to educate them. And so on, for each for your "do you believes..." You live in a democracy, so you live in a country where you contract to live by the rules the democracy decides on. You can of course, choose to oppose the rules, but you are bound by the consequences of such opposition. In a democracy if you do not like the laws you can 1.work to change them 2. resist the laws and take the consequences or 3. find a place which has a system more in line with you philosophy. Good luck with whatever you decide, unless it is some sort of violent resistance. I don't approve of that.

There are any number of policies and laws in place I don't agree with. I abide by them, and work to change the ones I think are terribly important.

So where I do think that my value system is best for everyone, I am adamant about not forcing it on others. But I wonder how serious you are about not expecting everyone to have your value system or that it wouldn't be right for everyone.

That's simple. She's not. JLA
