re: #166 cliffster

People make arguments under the apparent belief that we can make it so that nobody ever suffers,

Who are they? They’re not me.

I believe the underpinnings are “keep people free” We are not going to see eye to eye on a lot of issues because of that.

I believe the underpinnings are ‘keep people free’, as well. I know you don’t believe that, but it’s true.

I’m pointing out that the conditions that led to people letting their children be employed for twelve hours a day in great danger of life and limb, with no education and no chance at an education, were not freedom. Freedom is more than the potential for freedom. All of those mill workers were free to quit, free to go somewhere else.
