And your inability or refusal to understand, comprehend, or give any credence to
emminently rational arguments from anyone on the list against your naive ideas
causes great inclination to put you on my killfile.

Its all in the context, dear Zero. With respect to my rights, as far as the
government is concerned, they are absolute. My rights, with respect to other
individuals, are limited by the extent of their rights, in equal measure. There

terms when applied to two different subjects. N'est-ce pas?
