I had no idea that in Dem-land "the right to rape boys" is an individual right. Thanks for the enlightenment.

"Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."

So she would put Jerry Sandusky's individual right to rape boys above our duty to defend them? Sweet.

'nuff said.
I was reading this about pot smokers this a.m. and have my doubts about you and Koan being able to distinguish fantasy from reality...

"Closely related to the zero sum model is the "escape from reality" conception of marijuana use. The central axiom of this thesis is that the user is a troubled individual, who finds life threatening and frightening, and seeks to alleviate his difficulties by drifting off into a never-never land of euphoria. The state of intoxication associated with the marijuana high is viewed as intrinsically outside the orbit of the normal and the real and, therefore, by definition, the user seeks an unreal and abnormal state. It necessarily follows that anyone who smokes marijuana seeks to escape from reality, since reality is defined as what is socially acceptable. Thus, marijuana smokers are seen as truants from life, drop-outs, dwellers in a fantasy world, spinners of illusions—all living in hallucinations."

No such right exists, neither in reality, not in Rand's opinion, nor in mine, nor (I hope) in yours.

Rand was not an anarchist, she didn't support the total lack of government. She would support government protecting the innocent from violent attack, sexual or otherwise.

And even anarchists, almost universally would not claim a right to rape children, they would just try to oppose such rapes by means other than the government.
