>>concept of individual rights?
We simply cannot allow archaic, obsolescent and rather quaint notions of individualism from the 18th Century to guide public policy in the 21st.
The “rights” of the individual must be subordinate to the common welfare of the majority.
I can’t follow any other notion. When I’m dead everybody can do what they want. Until then I will be a wrench in the cogs of collectivism. I will try to infect everyone I come in contact with with an unquenchable desire for freedom, liberty and individualism. No shame, no regrets. ;-)
