You said:
People forget that if you're not working toward personal responsibility, liberty and freedom -- than you're no better than the people who you think are oppressing you. That's why I cringe when anyone talks about "moral clarity." I don't give a crap about people's morality -- as long as we're free, and their morality isn't interfering with my person or property.

I say:
The problem is, their morality is interfering with my person and property if it is corrupting the kind of society I live in. Men live in society, not by themselves on some desert island.
