Your claim to total objectivity seems remarkably similar to EE's claim that the Bible is literal truth.

I don't believe either. They don't square with observed reality.

People vote
or
People revolt

A person may revolt also, you know.

In either situation, individuality is lost.
It doesn't matter how you voted, the vote is a measure of all who vote, not the erratic whim of individuals therein. Recognizing that we are part of the fabric is easy. Relegating our worth to that cloth is not a natural thing, it takes a thinking person, who cares. I say you are nothing more than a vote, you disagree.
You want me to believe air is free, I maintain the position that it is not. You are not free, no one person is. Your individual rights are maintained and engendered by that cloth you so despise, the soft one that brushes against your face in the heat of the day, wiping your brow dry. That cloth that is made by us, never by you or him.
I would be remiss if I didn't remind you that what I have said is simplicity itself. I will venture that everyone here knows exactly what I am saying. Your individual rights are nothing more than what we decide we all want when we vote. We try to do it fairly.
In addition to the fact that we make the law, we also decide to what extent we includes us and them. Usually, boundaries fall along national lines, though that's not always true. We is getting larger. heheheh

You remind me of Bill in Friday, who do you think pays ?
