Look Mr. Nelson, I apologize for not be able to use of less than one syllable to explain things even more simply for you, but try and follow this, O.K.? Read the above REAL carefully now, O.K.? See how I state that I do not decide who has property rights? That would be immoral -- because other people have property rights no matter what I decide. Your "in other words" was a fallacious conclusion. I know you think that mob rule is fine and that the NAZI's were O.K. in doing what they did because there were more of them than the Jews, but I don't. Don't try to put words in other peoples mouths.
