The “understanding” of a 2 year old and thinks everything will be paid for and taken care of “somehow”. This is what propaganda and brainwashing does——the only way to reverse it is stop doling out free crap. People like this will learn real fast WHY one must work and be self sufficient.

This is why "Enlightenment" republics cannot work in the long run. This guy's vote counts as much as anyone else's, as if all opinions were equal in merit and were sacrosanct on account of their being opinions. Hardly anybody attempts to penetrate deeper. In a world like that, the operative principles of a functioning legal system cannot be established, because everything is in flux and the need to "respect" opinions qua opinions creates a relativistic stalemate between opposing interests, preventing any progress from being made. Thankfully the world we live in used to know of something better. Our legal system derived much of its form and structure from the old Christian monarchs, to whom we owe a greater debt than we commonly acknowledge.
