Frankly, I was disappointed. So lets see if I've got this straight--a little theft is OK (especially if it saves alot of children) but only a little, because we believe in individual rights, most of the time, and besides, we're living in a lifeboat situation anyway, so rights don't really apply? Huh? What, exactly, is the principle here? Ayn Rand used to say that the so-called friends of capitalism in the 19th century did more to bring about it's demise than any of it's enemies. BTW, I enjoyed the interview with you (the high point of the evening!) and I was happy to be made aware of this blog. Nice stuff!
