Nice response. I appreciate you taking the time. I was disappointed you felt that the questions were pointed as they are straightforward ethical questions about morality and the delegation of rights.
I'm assuming that you didn't like your answers to them as they contradict your beliefs but that's ok, I hope I at least planted a seed.
I'm still not sure you grasped my post based on your last response and I'm not convinced you understand what I mean commiting violence in your name. Let me clarify: by voting for a party/individual, you are giving them the authority to make decisions not just on your behalf but on the behalf of your fellow countrymen. Say, for example, you voted for someone on their promise to indroduce a new tax. They gain power and them they force your neighbour to pay this additional tax. What is the government law backed up with? Force. If your neighbour refuses to pay the new tax he will have violence committed against him by putting him in a cage or if he resists that, with guns.
Coercion is a form of violence. Government is coercive by its nature.
I suspect we will have to agree to disagree but I hope you can see clearer the point of view someone who does not want a group of people making his life decisions. I am perfectly capable with making my own decisions! Have a great day.
RE: If you don't vote, you can't complain! Really?
