The government created bankruptcy laws for people that actually by good intentions, and good actions get into debt, and need a way out. Not for people who go out and blow their loads.
So, is the fact that declaring bankruptcy is legal mean that the governement thinks it's OK to run up credit dact debt until declaring bankrupcy?
The point of the analogy is if the government is is responsible for people's choices simply because the governemnt allows choices at all.
According to your reasoning, if the government allows people choices by not making laws that make every bad thing we do illegal, it somehow means that the governemnt is actively promoting all of those bad things.
Is this your position?

There is a huge difference and why your analogy stinks, and I think I get your analogys better than you do.
LOL! No, you don't get the analogy at all, and that's why you won't answer the question I just asked, even though that is the point of the analogy.
So, is the fact that declaring bankruptcy is legal mean that the governement thinks it's OK to run up credit dard debt until declaring bankrupcy?
I've asked this three or four times now. Why won't you answer the question?

Re: Final thoughts

I atill won't call it a right, just like I don't think people who purposely run up high credit card bills, and then claim bankruptcy, to take advantage of a system, is a right. It may be a right legally, but not naturally, or even morally.
But I thought you said that your morals were derived from what the government allows as legal?
