Reply #42: It depends on how you hold "rights" and "responsibilities"

[Tyler Durden]

In my cosmology, "Rights" imply "Responsibilities" that cannot be re-assigned. Can you "OPT OUT" of Jury duty? NOPE. Same thing, just on a larger scale, and there is PLENTY of recourse: what this does is it makes the citizen RESPONSIBLE for the actions of the franchise, and gives two completely non-involving "OUTS."

I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but I don't see in a RESPONSIBLE free society that there is any other alternative. To say otherwise gives the "right" to march other citizens off to war without taking any responsibility on one's self.

Disabled, CO's, and Single Parents are OBVIOUS exclusions to such a rule.
