	Notice how the socialist duck and dodge here with claims that you
don't really believe in the lizard-god , red-herring etc. etc. 
 
	The inescapable fact is that the socialists (all statists) claim
the moral right to seize life , liberty , or property for " the good of
society".
 
	A terrorist,  while throwing a bomb into a cafe , makes the same claim
: individual life and property can and will be sacrificed for " the good of
society".

	As a Libertarian I say ' A curse on all philosophies and philosophers
who wish to deny us our inalienable  right to Life , Liberty , and PROPERTY. '
