Reply #168: I guess this is where we differ

You think the rights of the individual trump those of society and I think the opposite. Your view could potentially lead to anarchy and mine to tyranny. Hopefully, we are all smart enough to not let either happen. It's all about balance and moderation. When extremism rears it's ugly head we need to rethink. So, now we have these two societies, US and UK, using different methods to solve common problems. Only time will tell how effective each is and which may be preferable. Both are far from perfect, but on crime and violence, I think they are still doing a far better job.
