We take from some and give to others because Society Exists, and as individuals within society, we have an interest in society functioning. If we deny that we have an interest in society functioning, and that we are entirely disconnected from other individuals, we remove ourselves from that society entirely and consign ourselves to the state of, as Aristotle put it, "either gods or monsters."

DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:Exactly. There are no inherent rights, that exist independent of society or that existed before society. Nobody "discovered" the right of gays to get married, for instance. You don't put ideas into some sort of Lockeian microscope to see if they are truly in compliance with Natural Law. Obviously you are not on the Moral Majority's newsletter mailing list.
