RE: I want to be able to support Johnson and Weld, but they keep talking me out of it.
The notion is that, if we're going to always have some form of rape, better to have the best, most equitable, least violent form of rape, isn't it?
I'm wondering why you would expect a candidate to stay principled.
How is there safety in putting a reserve lot with those who disregard safety and humanity?
Who pander to the thought of it to acquiesce a sense of false security?
What is the function of government?
Are there not but two answers?
- To protect, defend, and so forth; to ensure equality.
- To destroy by deception.
Does government exist by means other than involuntary ones?
I think you know the answer. And if so, then how is #1 able to be produced, if it is by the violation of rights, of protection, that protection is enabled?
The notion of government is an existential matter, inherently, the same as the notion of God.
Is that not how it is that you could attempt to speak of "human nature" as though it made systematic rape inevitable?
Total psychological de-stabilization occurs not through today or tomorrow, but to define the very concept of what it is that you, and people in general, are.
It is for this reason that I have now, for a long time, been working on systematic, entertaining depth to my conversations... and, as you might guess, from what you see here, to varying degrees of success, usually verging on failure.
