America offers a balance to individual freedom and the societal toll it requires to continue to function. Natural rights are simple enough to be both represented in law and to be used by individuals. Dont want to live in society? Sure be excluded if you want and be a hermit. But the "majority" society cant make the unilateral arbitrary decision to exclude the minority from society. That's not morally, socially, or ethically ok.
Of the people for the people.
It's not up to the goverment to govern how people want to dictate how long they want to live for or what practices they must undertake to live for longer. If you wanna eat garbage, balloon up to 400 pounds and die at 35 you can do that. To me that's beautiful. Because you have the freedom to kill yourself however slowly you want.
I know too much shit about China and I do not like the parallels with Australia's recent activities.
Would you ever consider living in Australia?
