as dickish as he is... unfortunately, he's correct. Society does get to restrict who gets help... we don't give food stamps to just anyone, they have to fall within a certain income level.. that
is a restriction.
and that's just one of a million others..
I know what you're thinking tho....it's more of an ideology or a "wouldn't it be nice if..." utopian concept
but in the world we live in, yes... society does have that right.
that doesn't mean every single restriction is OK..
and frankly, caring about whether or not someone is high and getting food stamps to feed their kids isn't a real priority for me..but then, I'm not like ppl like him who want to dictate what goes on in everyone else's lives,bedrooms,doctor's office and recreational times..
Yes, he is a dick; and yes, he was saying a lot more than what he was saying...
I was wrong, however*, in my idealogic definition of "society":
so·ci·e·ty (s-s-t)
n. pl. so·ci·e·ties
1.
a. The totality of social relationships among humans.
b. A group of humans broadly distinguished from other groups by mutual interests, participation in characteristic relationships, shared institutions, and a common culture.
c. The institutions and culture of a distinct self-perpetuating group.
*See how easy that is, lilMike?
