  1. I agree with tadmjones. Your wages and time away are automatically considered when they suggest and or allow you to use FMLA. This indicates agreement, and as such in complete accord with the trader principle. As for the government paying for it, if you compare how much in taxes you should pay in a proper society versus what you (and your parents) have paid, and account for what kinds of goods and services you would have gotten in a free society versus the mixed economy one you actually got.... unless you and your parents had been truly needy through all your lives, you will find that the State owes you big time, that you paid far too much for far too little in return... and if anything FMLA helps to balance the ledger a little bit.

  3. You are not acting against contractual agreement with your employer as they recommend this specific course of action , the benefits or renumeration you receive do not come by any effort on your part to defraud or gain through dishonesty. Perhaps use those opportunities for personal growth instead of ‘slothfulness’.

  4. I love objectivism, yet feel ill equipped to keep up with the tremendous amount of words there are to sift through, I appreciate each of you who invest your time and attention to respond. I read this forum for hours, without posting my loosely organized thoughts and responses, then put it down for a few weeks. The majority of my mental real estate is dedicated to visual infomation. Here is one of my tumblrs I have used as catharsis and energy, I have posted more than 7000 masks from all the cultures and times I can find. I hope some of you find value if you take the time to scroll through. I recommend zooming into the images, I use 'COMMAND+++' on my mac to see the tumbnails more closely. https://submittothemask.tumblr.com/archive

  5. I definately see the effects in my 14 year old son, I wont use him as a pawn to fight the school directly, so I work to help him adapt. Humans have been using masks and plague scares as part of dogma leverage for thousands of years, the individual always has to develop a set of tools that help return to your values and priorities. I have an almost supernatural belief in the ability of an individual consciousness to transcend the collective.
