[ QUOTE ]
You need protecting from yourself because you are willing to give up your rights to others

[/ QUOTE ]

The 'others' is who I need protection from.

[ QUOTE ]
It is you and your ignorant ilk that DO have the power to give up your rights. All you have to do is vote them away.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then whatever I'm giving up my right to (be it a person, or the state) is what I need protection from.

[ QUOTE ]
The government certainly would. You need protection from them, yes, but also from yourself for granting and allowing the government to grow stronger and controlling.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I just need protection from the government here, and not from myself - since they're the entity trying to enslave me.

If you're trying to claim that I'm consenting to their enslavement, then, by definition, it's no longer enslavement, because I consented to it.

So, in other words, what you said ("Thank God there are people to protect you from yourself") is just meaningless nonsense.
