Conform to whatever our government suggests, without any proof it is effective. Ex: Submit to being searched at the airport, though no terrorists have been caught (though they may have found some weed and dangerous tweezers). Ex: Tap your phone or search your home without a warrant, though the 4th Amendment prohibits it. Ex: Pay taxes, though not even the IRS can cite the code making you liable to pay. To open his eyes, Rosenthal (and Reston) would need to admit he is sleeping while our government is doing the unconstitutional and destroying the country. Being a liberal-socialist, Rosenthal can't help but play dumb and ask "What country?" Answer: The United States.

So if you are bad you go to prison and if you are good you go to deformatory? Complete nonsense, though it would get rid of politicians, liberals, communists and socialists. But how do we know when to let them out?

It is not reasonable for government to force citizens into something, such as paying the so-called "income tax," at the point of a bayonet. And, it is NOT "reasonable" if it sounds like nah nah nah and annoys you!

Anarchy if people take responsibility for their own welfare and security? Doubtful! People "pool resources" because they benefit from it. No benefit, no pooling.

Leave it to liberal socialists to quibble over a definition ... always, often, usually, mostly, etc.

I assume responsibility for my welfare by earning a Bachelor's degree to increase my income. I carry a concealed handgun to provide for my security. If I ONLY relied on Reston's pooled resources (police) to save me from a thief in the night, they would arrive in time to outline my body with chalk. Instead, I rely on them to pick up the thief, who could be dead by the time they arrive if I'm forced to defend myself. Apparently self-defense is what Reston would call anarchy. I call it my natural right to defend my life, my property, my friends and family. Reston would illogically appeal to the kindness of the thief to NOT take his life as the thief takes his property, and probably piss himself.

There's safety in numbers Rosenthal. Living in Germany at the outbreak of WWII you prayed to be among the majority. You certainly did not want to be one of the minority.

Each new law removes personal responsibility and further enslaves us.

Reston, moments ago you gave 5 stars to individual values that lead to freedom. Now you say that freedom may lead to great evil, and give 0 stars. You flip-flop more than John Kerry.

Great, now Rosenthal wants there to be thought police. You can't control thought, and are wrong to restrict law-abiding citizens with laws simply because 1% of the population are irrational and "might" do something bad. Criminals, terrorists, even Hannibal Lecter, don't care about and are unaffected by laws, and will break them whenever they choose. Gun control is the perfect example. We would be better off if every law-abiding adult were required to carry a handgun for self-defense. This would make criminals afraid of the people, and free up police to fight crime.

That's the point Rosenthal, true freedom is the ability to do whatever you please. I pray you will never decide which acts should never be permitted. Your Nazi thinking would surely make you the traitor who betrays your family, friends or neighbors for the slightest infraction of the most obscure rules.

"Lack of controls on behavior" is called freedom. If you like control so much, move to China. Little science there, and they'll tell you what to do.

What perverse things do you do Rosenthal? I suspect you say you are a democrat, but are in reality a socialist, perhaps communist, probably living in Kalifornia, or is it Mexifornia? Your world would be uniform, grey and homogeneous. Please stay in Kalifornia and away from me.

Some free speech is so egregious it cannot be tolerated? You support censorship? Listen to yourselves; you are hateful, bigoted, prejudiced, intolerant and fanatical! Emotion has illogically thrown you off topic (censorship) to immoral anal sex ... quite a stretch, even for socialists.

Those of you who rate this quote with no stars have indecent minds.

... as gun laws pierce the heart of your right to keep and bear arms.

There will always be a small percentage of people who abuse whatever freedom is available. But, forcing the law-abiding to losing their freedom is not the way to stop abuse.

Our government wants everyone to be equal and average. Only problem is people are NOT equal and average.

Islam seems intollerant.

I don't find it reasonable that the IRS take my money so the government can give it to the poor, and declare war on other countries. I find it reasonable that those that want a big car buy it with money they have earned, not that I am forced to provide. I find it reasonable that other countries decide for themselves how (and by whom) to run their country. And if someone comes to steal my money, they are likely to get shot.

Deny, deny, deny oh delusional liberal. When you can no longer deny this definition of heathen, change the subject to faith.

Rosenthal is a delusional liberal, and regardless of how exact or general your definition is, you will never satisfy him and he will deny your fact. If you said "horse", he'll ask what size it is? You say "big horse", he'll ask what color? "Big brown horse", what gender is it? "Big brown stallion", what breed is it? "Big brown Arabian stallion", then he will circle back to what type of animal is it. If you said "horse" ...

Just like a delusional liberal to deny the facts. The “history” of Christianity is soaked in blood. Murdered prophets, Christ Himself, the Crusades, the Salem witch trials, and thousands more examples fill the Bible and history books. Jews, Christians and non-Christians spilling blood, so people could demonstrate how righteous they were. Today, we spill blood in the Middle East, and for what? To prove how righteous we are? Of course, and to steal their oil in the name of Christ.

Apparently he couldn't think of a "p" word for abortions. Obviously they didn't have "planned parenthood" or the "pill". LOL

Today we have Islamic extremists to "terrify and enslave mankind."
