"If you actually believe that individuals have any rights that government has
no legititimate right to restrict in any way, please say so clearly."

I do not believe this.


To me, that is VERY scary. The idea that I have NO rights as a human that are safe from government control.

We will never see eye to eye on this.

Let's take just one example.

I believe that government has no right to restrict my right to practice the religion of my choice as long as I do not unreasonably violate the rights of others (e.g., no virgin sacrifices allowed, and no blowing up buildings because God tells me to.) But the worship of the God or Gods of my choice is, I firmly believe, a right no government has the legitimate right to restrict.
