Might Makes Wrong

27. You whole attitude here and on your blog

Reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite authors, Lois McMaster Bujold author of the The Vorkosigan Saga.

In here novel Falling Free a race of genetically engineered humans called Quaddies has been created. The Quaddies have a second pari of fully functional arms and hands in place of their legs. The Quaddies are being raised in microgravity abroad a space station to serve as workers who could live and work in microgravity without the side affects that plague normal humans in long term microgravity. They have been deliberately created to be intelligent but docile, and are being raised to place the interests of the group above that of the individual. They are carefully schooled and educated such that they not be exposed to violent literature.

The main character, Leo Graff, a man, is told that he must be very careful lest he "contaminate" the Quaddies with his planetside culture. He make the comment, one I have long remembered. And is promptly reprimanded for it by the head psychologist, a woman.This is a quote written by a woman who obviously understands men, and their mindset quite well.

It's a woman's idea of a perfect society. Everyone is so well behaved."

In other words, your mindset is that if we poor, testosterone addled males would only behave as precisely as women like yourself tell us to, America would have the perfect society.

Well guess what. We reject your philosophy. And we are not going to "behave" ourselves to meet your standards and expectations.

Having a Social Conscience does not mean having to sacrifice everything for the group. While I am quite willing to sacrifice a number of things to the group, in exchange for living in the US, one of the things I am not willing to sacrifice is the RKBA. And I’m not alone in this.

“People not getting hurt” is the not the only thing that matters in this country. Despite all your fantasies to the contrary, freedom is sometimes more important than safety.

We live in a country with a Constitution, BOR and a legal system designed first and foremost to guarantee and protect the Right of the Individual, not the Safety of the Group.
