I told you that you wouldn't understand. I thought it was just because of your ideology, but it might be because you cannot conceptually grasp what I am writing. Let me make it as simple as possible. In the end, I believe you would give up all of yours and others rights and let some higher authority make all your decisions for you. I believe you would make yourself a slave if you could.

Do you understand now?

No, I don't.

I can't 'enslave' myself. Obviously, to become a slave, there has to be a master. So whoever would try to enslave me (apparently the state, in this case) is who I need protecting from - not 'myself'.

Sigh. You still don't get it.
