Sorry, but can you point to any guarantee in life, aside from death and taxes?

He’s pointing out exactly the collectivist fall-back ‘it hurts society/community/etc.’ [and, yes, he’s wrong re: abortion. It’s the one failing of the (L), IMHO]. Again, what actions DON’T possibly do so??? (IE: I decide to spend $$ on a new car; that effected the boat builder, the carpenter, etc.).

Whom owns another? Where do my Rights end from a vote by another, and by what authority? Just HOW did the Republic survive up ‘til the early 1900’s w/out the plethora of ‘Laws’ we have today?

Nope, the list sounds right. OTOH we have laws to protect society from those who would want to live outside commonly accepted behavior. That list isnt long either: murder, theft, rape, assault. Maybe there are others. What we have now is well beyond that. The reason we have them is partly b/c the concept of self govt is long gone. It wasnt always that way...when there wer fewer laws.
