Quote:I'll agree with you that an unreasonable option exists, but slaves had the option to run away too. It's interesting that you've veered the discussion to the conditions of slavery rather than the point which is that taxes are immorally high and generally a corruptor in our society.

 

Edit: More interesting is how far this has gone from Hiroshima.

I don't think it's unreasonable and I also don't think, generally speaking they are too high. Nor a corruptor. As I said, they are a matter of opinion and perspective. 

 

I have not veered a discussion anywhere. You claimed we live in slavery. I said you were wrong. Then you tried to say but taxes are slavery and again I said you were wrong. You brought up slavery so now we are here. 

 

I think it's a fitting conversation for this thread. The discussion was on right/wrong and doing things that are necessary to stave off future blood shed or just plain winning the war. You might have said something similar in this thread. I think the civil war fits into that thread. Our current discussion is because you think you are slave when really you just don't like some rules in the society you chose to remain a part of.
