Quick word game…

Lefties call people who want to hang on to their own private property “selfish”.

I think a good opposite of “selfishmess” is “generosity”.

If they force us to give up our private property literally at gun point, does that make us “generous”?

If a criminal holds you up, if we resist are we “selfish” but if we throw our wallet at him, we are “generous”?

Something is very wrong here… being forced to give doesn’t make a person “generous” any more than being tied to a tree makes one “brave”.

I think I need a drink.
