> Do you think Americans are using free speech well? I think that's irrelevant, since being a free individual is the main reason being alive and healthy is desirable, not the other way around. If people just existed to keep an abstract group of people alive, with no person in that group actually mattering, actually being allowed to develop as the person they are, not the group they are in -- what's the point of having people at all? What would we be doing that insects or algae aren't already doing much better? > Just because it's supposed to work that way doesn't mean it actually works that way. Sure, but if it's not even supposed to work that way, or is even supposed to work the opposite, then that's still a lot worse.
