Nope, I translated your desire for more government controls as selfish.

Vaccines are a personal choice. They go into my body. My body, my choice, right?

You don’t want control over others, but you just told me what to do with my body. Again, my body, my choice.

I believe in the power and uniqueness of the individual. I see you for what you are, what you can offer, and your individual potential for what you can become. I don’t merely see you as a group. That’s what Libertarian mean when they celebrate you as an individual. I see you as more than the collective.

I also appreciate your feedback. I appreciate our freedom to provide our feedback too.

I see society as a relationship that requires a certain give and take. To make sacrifices for it and those within it and gain the advantage and services it provides.

I think we can easily agree on that something needs to be fixed currently and we want change. Just completely different views. I would absolutely love to be proved wrong if it created a better life for all, in which I'd gladly embrace whatever shape it took. Again, have a good day, it's been an enriching discussion.
