"It is not society, nor any social right, that forbids you to kill—but the inalienable individual right of another man to live. This is not a “compromise” between two rights—but a line of division that preserves both rights untouched. The division is not derived from an edict of society—but from your own inalienable individual right. The definition of this limit is not set arbitrarily by society—but is implicit in the definition of your own right. Within the sphere of your own rights, your freedom is absolute."

"Her words are in quotes, my words directly challenge her assertions" Sigh...apparently, you just don't get it. You CHALLENGED nothing. When people speak DIRECTLY they do not couch their responses in subterfuge and misrepresentation. There is not the tiniest smidgen of truth in your claim to have challenged her statement or her belief system. How does your guttersnipe sneering statement of malicious ignorance "challenge" what Rand is saying. Hell, man--you didn't even address it. You didn't analyze it, parse it, examine it, critique it, or puzzle it. You sure as Hell didn't challenge her statement in any way whatsoever. Be honest for once: Your guttersnipe response had SWEET P-SS ALL to do with examining and challenging her quote. It was merely a gratuitous piece of barn yard rat gutter-mutter for which you are so well noted. (Not unlike your straw man reference to molecules not having feelings and intellect and no morals--as though you were challenging a contrary assertion from somewhere!) Christ, you are a piece of work!
