A very well written article. Well done, Christa. Someone gave this young woman a good dose of sense along the way. Would that academe could do the same.
This is well worth reading. It is especially refreshing to note that this comes from an American university student in today's times.
Exactly. Down with libertarianism!
Seriously though, excessive, radical individualism is as dangerous to our liberties as excessive government. Your neighbour who won't restrain his own behaviour is as oppressive as a government that won't restrain itself. The commonwealth exists to preserve the liberties of its constituent citizens, and by engaging in behaviours which undermine the commonwealth as a whole, an individual really is making an attack upon the liberty of each and every other individual in the commonwealth.
