Their is an old-saying that "more than one are better than one". But however thanks for the discussion !

This idea is explained in the article, and no theory I have considered seems compatible with the reasoning given in the above article. This is, interestingly enough, coming from a person who supports an unrestricted free-market capitalism on both practical and moral foundations. However, my reasoning for my opinions is never based upon a fear of conclusions -- if logic and theory take me to a position, it must be considered true. Otherwise both logic and reasoning are worthless when it comes to formulating a position. Considering that, just because something gives us a radical conclusion does not necessarily mean that it is illogical or unreasonable. It might be our conlusion that was unreasonable in the first place. Thank you for your thoughts! I love discussing this issue. :) I am of the firm belief that self-ownership is completely absolute.

Exactly how absolute do you consider this 'self-ownership' to be? Because, after all, a lot of people would say that we own ourselves, in general, but we can still have obligations to others which require us to contribute to society. Framing it in terms of 'ownership' has the potential to ignore the possibility of middle ground between, for example, unrestricted free-market capitalism and communism. Interesting points.
