Not so much a response, but just some thoughts I had that were inspired by the original video by lifeishowitis, which can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_z49F7cBmE I said in the vid that we can't know "all the time" know what's best for someone else...I would change "all the time" to "ever" Also, the Milton Friedman quote was actually something like "I can't be sure that I am right and he is wrong" which is basically my view when it comes to how people should live and which governmental systems are best. Clarification on my statement about calling stuff "bad" or "I think that's bad" - when I say "that's bad" or "that's good" that's according to my own values. When I'm arguing/debating with someone, I'll say "I think that's bad because *insert my reason here*" or I sometimes won't even mention it as bad. I'll merely describe it (sometimes in a polemical way) and hope that people will agree with my analysis, but even if they don't it at least helps them look at it in a different way.
