Sarah Palin later clarified her remarks with the following statement:

>> ^imstellar28:
Why are you trying to blindly apply the concept to all situations, when that is clearly not appropriate?

Usually you're the one who's arguing in favor of blind applicability of concepts to all situations. Personally, I don't see the difference. Either I have a right to wear the clothes I choose because of some innate right to free self-expression, or I don't.

I'm curious, what other individual freedoms do you think corporations can disregard?

It's apparently okay for coalitions of companies to take away my freedom to wear the clothes I like, and to monitor my communications made using their equipment. They also have the right to keep me under constant surveillance as well.

Since I'm "in their house", I suppose they have the right to do anything they choose with me, so long as I can quit, right?

If the company policy was universal, just as the case with all rentals having cameras, well I'd say its about time for a revolution.

What would your moral basis be for using violence? I have no right to tell others what to do with their property. I can only enforce what's been contractually agreed to.

What would you set up after the revolution to fix the camera-in-rental-property issue? A government that meddled in the private affairs of people's contracts?

Egads, authoritarian! Statist!

I parody by way of trying to make my point of view clear. I have respect for the whole series of basic assertions of libertarians. I just say to most of them "with some exceptions".

People have a right to what they produce...with some exceptions. People have to abide by voluntary contracts...with some exceptions.

My exceptions are because I see how property rights and contract enforcement can be used as a cudgel to inflict tyranny on people who don't have the material resources or the education to escape it. I'm not talking about people who are poor and stupid, I'm talking about people like you and me, since I think it's probably a safe bet that neither of us are multi-millionaires nor top-notch lawyers.

Changing jobs works some of the time, but there are a huge array of things that are standard practices amongst all companies that just shouldn't be happening at all.

Perhaps starting my own company would be a cure, but I don't have enough wealth to wager on it, and I'm unwilling to threaten my family's livelihood just because I'm chafing at the tyranny I'm subjected to at work.

So instead I run my yap and try to convince people to engage in some political activism to get our employers owners to treat us like we're people entitled to certain rights as human beings, beyond merely the right to get suckered by the wealthy and crafty.

uhh. personally, i just thought of it as a little clip on a "jerry maguire" approach to life's crises. a healthy shedding of shitty preconceived notions and expectations built up since childhood.

certainly not taking any medical advice from anything said here.
and i skipped all the yap about spirituality and souls.

It wouldn't be an average night on the sift without QM running around yapping like Old Yella with rabies...

Go Rush Go!

Keep flapping that fat yap of yours.

Yap, *blocked

Yap, good to know he's still not a robot.

Sorry but Alex Jones has been projecting that Marshal Law will be put in place in the USA since 1999, he keeps yapping about the shadowy elite. They control the world and are devil worshippers, like that would matter. If a group of people was smart enough to pull all the important strings in the world, they wouldn't be something stupid like devil worshippers. But of course Alex finds this very logical because he's a crazy christian.

70% of his data is real, but the way he ties facts together is completely nuts.

I once saw a interview with a Freemason, he was talking about the conspiracy theories and he said "you know, if we were some kind of organization that controlled the world we wouldn't be having arguments about what should be for desert".

Whatever they'd say, I'd just interpret it the same way I hear everything they say:

"Blarg hnork ubble wuggle blunf yap yap fnargle"

or some variation thereof.

Carl Sagan put it this way in his wonderful series Cosmos: "We are all made of the dust of stars". That line really stuck with me.
