Re: "appropriate balance" means taking away your rights

It hasn't - that's an oxymoron... perhaps you don't understand the meaning of essential... but if you start to think it has then it's time to quit the coolaid, take a fist full of antipsychotics and a deep breath, and step back and attempt to engage your brain. Before you do something sdoopid.
