Re: Politics-Ethics Question
[ QUOTE ]
There's a word to describe the situation where a lack of action can be considered a criminal act. The word is slavery.
Is a refusal to give a hungry man a meal the equivalent of taking a hungry man's meal away from him?
The notion that a lack of action is the same as an action is absurd and flies in the face of the entire notion of political liberty.

Read closely and gain wisdom. There is a difference between "refraining from doing something" and "lack of action". I trust in your intellectual capacity to figure out what that difference consists of.
