re: #418 legalpad

Well, why do we have to call it a “right”? Why can’t we just make sure we do something because we want to, because it is the “right” thing to do? Terming it “a right” muddies the waters a bit. Technically, this sort of right would theoretically require that someone be forced to produce it for them, unlike the rights to be left alone and to be free to do things and have things. This would actually be mandating slavery, however much denial we engage in.

This is an excellent post, really. How about considering it the “right” thing to do? What’s wrong with that?

(Don’t agree with your last couple of sentences, but in a very techincal and pedantic sense, TBH).
