Jeff Berwick comments:
And the answer to it all is so simple. Voluntaryism: An understanding that all actions between humans should be voluntary and all actions that are forced or coerced should be shunned.

Brilliant thinking here, I agree very much. Reminds me of an article I want to write: There is an awful lot of propaganda going on that humans are basically evil. And everybody swallows this hook, line and sinker. But it is a big fat lie and in total contradiction to my observations. The vast majority of people I approach are peaceful at heart and feel happy to help. It is a very small minority who cannot forgive themselves and who now think there is comfort in the lie that all the rest is no better than them.
