Surprisingly, I haven’t died early. I just celebrated six decades of life last week. I guess if I pass in the next couple of years that might still be considered early.
I think you’d be surprised at the number of people who’s lives i have enriched over those years. I certainly am.
Sorry, gonna have to disagree. I have no right to tell others how to live, whether directly or indirectly. Voting for individuals is indirect, voting for ballot measures is direct.
I have no right to tell you if you can own a gun or not.
I have no right to tell you if you can or cannot have an abortion.
I have no right to tell you if you can or cannot ingest a substance that alters your reality.
I have no right to tell you if you can or can’t smoke in public.
I have no right to tell you if you can or can’t buy alcoholic beverages before 1300 on Sunday.
I have no right to tell you if you can or can’t use paper or plastic bags at the grocery.
I have no right to tell you if you can or can’t sell drinks with paper or plastic straws.
That list can go on and on.
There are some who may believe “it’s all we’ve got so I’m going to participate.” I am not one of those people.
As to the hyper-indivualistic, I understand why you might say that. It’s not entirely true. I do believe that the individual is the smallest minority, but I also fully believe in voluntary community.
So I should engage in an immoral act because other people might do something wrong?
I have no right to tell anyone how to live their lives, and that is what I attempt to do any time I cast a ballot.
