Good gravy. My wife does 6 times past the same point in 2 hours, easily, just running errands.

You're missing the point. If you make the law stupid enough and restrictive enough, you can set up a situation in which it is not possible to tell the .gov to **** off because you are not doing anything wrong, as it is virtually impossible to not be doing *something* wrong, therefore, you are free of retribution at the .gov's pleasure rather than exempt from it by virtue of your proper behavior. This allows the .gov to impose completely arbitrary control over most everyone who is not comatose.

Hmmm.
So want to use that in a Facebook argument.
But then I wouldn't "convince" him.
Not that that seems possible.

I'd go with the standard "rights aren't determined by need", and follow that up with "Nevertheless 'need' isn't determined by you. You're not qualified."

I've tried that. It doesn't work online.

Yeah. That idea has been around for a while.

I wish that our president thought and spoke this way. This is a great man.

"...All people deserve respect,deserve dignity."

I would only add,"...until they don't, by their actions."

The killers at any and all of the mass murders deserve no dignity, no respect. They deserve to die in ignominy, or better, anonymity.

Otherwise, he is absolutely correct. Treat people as people, as we ourselves wish to be treated, until they (individually) prove themselves undeserving of that.

Someone undeserving has proven him/herself so by maliciously doing harm to others, IMHO.

Blessings,
Bill

Shoaf Park in Ft Wayne, early 80s. Looking back I have to admit that we made the park completely unusable for anything but cruising weekend evenings.

Same in Peru. Nothing to do in small town Indiana but drive in circles on a Friday night.
