[Micah]
But I'll bite, in your utopia of "limited freedom" (my favorite of your
contradictions)...

[Arlo]
I'm sorry, where did I say "limited freedom"?

[Micah]
 - who decides which people are sacrificed for the "greater good"...

[Arlo]
No one is sacrificed. I hold all human life sacred.

[Micah]
... and who decides the "greater good"? Is it majority (mob) rule? Will slavery
be brought back? I'm sure there will be a majority for that.

[Arlo]
Robert's Rules of Order comes to mind. Slavery held that some human life was
invaluable. That antithetical to my position.

[Micah]
When I follow your thinking out to it's logical conclusion, it ends with Big
Brother, because it's premise is; that people can't be trusted with freedom.

[Arlo]
Not so. It ends with respecting the value of human life and achieving as much
liberty for as many people as possible.
