It is impossible to rationally tell people that their personal philosophies are not all equally valid- in a pluralistic society. After all, our personal philosophy is based on what is emotionally comfortable to us. It isn't really open for debate. We ought (in a free country) to be able to explore our personal philosophy in written and verbal expression so long as we do not advocate violence against others (imo- and judging by the Supreme Court holding on free speech). People who advocate pacificism or no government, as a personal philosophy have every right to do so, and be protected from other people who might harm them. They do not have the right to be protected from criticism, but they have every right to be protected from real physical harm or the infringement of their rights.
