Additionally, you can not have a law that's pro collectivism and pro human rights. Thus, if you are for a law that is pro collectivism, you are for a law that's against human rights. Give me an example where that logic is not true.

What about a law that allows a woman to go and get an abortion? Or a law that allows black people to eat in the same restaurants as white people? Or the right for someone to not be a slave? Did people have those rights before we formed a government?
Jackson brings up some great points. When did people ever have the right to tax each other? You are deluding yourself if you think that people can't give government powers that none of them had to begin with. That is one of the main reasons why societies create governments in the first place.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
