lol...I agree with this sentiment, but I think it is important to establish natural rights as absolute. All of the things you mentioned can be justified if we say even though we are ignoring the rights of people it is necessary because it will make society better. His draft example is the most obvious case of such disregard of people's rights. He is basically saying a draft is wrong unless we REALLY need one. How do we know if we really need a draft? While I guess that his point is that such decisions are completely subjective, it does nothing to protect natural rights.
