: By the practicality that we all share the same environment and world, I am in continuous virus to virus contact with teh people inmy community, chances are, you've contracte the descendants of viruses that have passed through me- we breath the same air- I ahve just inhaled molecules that have been round you blood stream, that have touched your flesh in the most intimate places, I have eaten your recycled carbon. to say we are unique, isolated, autnomous beings with no relation to our fellows is arrogant nonsense.

Just because we have breathed eachothers spent breath doesnt make a binding necessity exist between us. Relation to our fellows does not imply debt. I'm not saying we should all walk alone, I am asking for a reason for the apparent indebtedness (ie 'must' rather than 'would be nice to' - I agree with the latter)

: WAS Laissex Faire, please recall, it was invented here, up until about 1860 I'd say, and then social reformers started to kick up a stink.

You did well to describe statists of the 19th century in anotehr post.
