On Abolishing Taxes

[septimus]

I don’t want to misquote WillFarnaby. Here are his words:

@WillFarnaby

The fact that mandatory vaccinations would be good for society, and has been good so far, is irrelevent. Mandatory abortions for homeless women could produce a positive result. The only difference between a policy of mandatory vaccinations and mandatory abortions is that one has been mandated through the democratic process, while one has not. If you apply your “test” to a policy of mandatory abortions, a majority of people would flunk it. Does this mean that the political theory of these people is now illegitimate? I think not.

Beyond implying that eradicating smallpox was irrelevant, he seems to imply it’s along a slippery slope to mandatory abortions.

I think we should ask Farnaby to reduce his “philosophy” to a more basic and understandable level. I repeat:

WillFarnaby, Do you agree with OP that it was “immoral” for Oog the Baboon’s grandfather to make him share banana with his cousin?
