    My life matters unless I say it doesn't.
    I choose. I do not consent to anyone taking that freedom from me,

    Depends whether you're the terminator or the terminated.

    All men die. It's not how or when they die, it's what they do with the little amount of life that each has.

    It's good to be back. I had a lot of work to do updating my dossier to make it ready to be reviewed for promotion. I got that done on Friday, and I feel like I have my life back.

    Score one point. Individual lives matter for they are the cells that form the groups that form the entities - at least until they are deemed worthless with nothing left to contribute and like any dead cell cast off without a footnote in history. 'an atom making up molecules making up cells making up elements each important but no more important than the other. Part of the cellular not the nuclear family . A collection of one size fits all parts except of course for those who eat what we collectively produce claiming membership in a higher entity.

    Now for the other side of the discussion you who read this..

    Are you human or are you humanoids. Objectivists and other practitioners of independent thought and reason join the first group The rest line up for processing right over there by the shower huts.

    THATs' what you call Re-Framing the debate to a more precise form or universal (the original name before it was plagiarized.)

    And two points for providing the opportunity. the answer D Plus B. You got that part backwards

    D) I am going to be appropriately selfish. If we want to have more people adopt Objectivist values, this discussion is the way to frame the debate.
