Two words: Eminent Domain. Although, philosophically, my argument goes back so far that it moves into the concept of "Property," and from that "ownership v. possession."
What I am attempting to reveal is that until individuals understand that all of these concepts (Tyranny, Ownership, Property, Freedom, Liberty, ....) are constructs, and that constructs are subjective - the wheel of our current politics will continue to move round-and-round.
Well, heck, by that logic, civilization is nothing more than a costruct (which it is
) ... but it is also the basis from which we begin otherwise we have chaos and anarchy (bad things IMHO).
What I see you doing is preaching to folks and starting confrontational debates with incendiary comments. I sometimes wonder if you are not an anarchist at heart :lol:
Most folks on this forum are ADULTS and generally don't need to be schooled by someone on what Tyranny, Ownership, Property, Freedom, Liberty, etc. actually mean. Those terms seem to generally be of a definition to individuals that is close enough to each other's that they are talking apples to apples most of the time, except when debating you
All definitions are subjective to an individual ... based on their contextual use of a term. No need to nit-pick all possible definitions nor to jump to the least applicable definition just to further a need for creating drama.
IMHO the reason that the wheel of our current politics goes round-and-round is because of the stranglehold the 'old guard' politicians have on Congress, and the undue influence Corporate America has by way of PAC money and lobbyists. You know, graft and corruption.
