    Our Society, PLEASE READ!

    Today, our unique rights are sometimes compromised for the sake of the whole of society.

    Is it more important to limit the rights of the individual for the protection of society?
    OR
    Is it more important to compromise the safety of society for the rights of the individual?

    It is more important to compromise the safety of society for the rights of the individual. But one person's rights end where they intrude on another person's rights.

    Society is comprised of individuals. We're only as strong as our weakest. We need to build each other up rather than tearing everyone apart in our attempts to scramble to the top. Once the individual is above all of society and society is in ruin, what does he really have?

    You could be the richest man on Mars, but jeez, man. It's freaking Mars.

    Correct. The imagination without knowledge is a toilet without water: Mars on earth.
