Because, justme, I have very rigorous, objective definition of what is and what isn’t a right. I follow the series of actions all the way through and identify which actions force other people away from any peaceful and honest activity. Those actions are violations of rights. I believe at any time, everyone has the right to be peaceful and honest.
I don’t have to harm anyone, force anyone to do anything against their will, trespass, steal from anyone, or lie to anyone under contract to safely drive a safe, low-smog, low-MPG vehicle. It is a peaceful and honest activity.
Taking on public debt forces millions of people into indebtedness who do not want to go into debt. Staying out of debt is a peaceful and honest activity. Nobody has the right to force them away from it, in my opinion.
So, note – taking on public debt and mandating MPG requirements both force people away from actions that are peaceful and honest. Thus, it imposes upon them.
Saying that I wish to impose on anyone is exactly wrong. I wish to prevent impositions in all cases.
Lets be clear – I don’t want to waste oil. I’m just saying, I have the right to and that you don’t have the right to stop me.
I am also saying that we have no clue if using less oil would result in a better outcome or not.
