Society and government exists for the protection of the individual rights, not the individual for the society.

Sorry my friend, we're not a "collective". This is one of the most dangerous lies ever perpetuated by the political elite - an idea that once ingrained will allow control.

Open your mouth because here comes the spoon . . .

Excellent! You've read Heinlein. Have you gotten around to The Moon is a Harsh Mistress?

I agree with the statement, but it does not follow that one protects individual rights by compromising or destroying those same rights.

For those who may not know, TANSTAAFL stands for "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch".
