You never HAD a counterpoint, and you as much as admitted that.
It’s you who are being defensive. Your lack of specificity reveals that in neon brightness.
I never made any counterpoint about restricting people's freedom, that was the context of that statement. The counterpoint I'm referring to which you can't refute was in post #42. You just couldn't admit you were wrong that it was all due to government coercion, so you blathered on for five posts being evasive, then insulting, instead of admitting your error.
