Re: Fundamental rights

Only one fundamental ethic is necessary. Everyone is free to do as they wish as long as they don't not limit another individual the right to do the same. In other words, one's freedom ends where another's begins.

I think the hyper individualism that dominates society today fails to understand that in order for freedom to exist there are necessary limits--especially respect for the other.
