[Notwithstanding]

You seem educated, but make a fatal error in logic and fact.

Socialism is all about FORCING people to do things.
My posts never even hinted at FORCING anyone to do a damn thing.

People with thin skin who feel vulnerable to legitimate criticism turn the moral pressure of an OUGHT into the socialist mandate of a MUST.

I advocate loudly for children taking precedence over animals - I don't suggest it be mandatated by law.

I don't feel vulnerable. Someone else's kids aren't my problem. Having kids you cannot afford and then expecting peolple to want to help you is not responsible.
