It wasn't my intent to assert that all of that applied to you. I was merely trying to say that there is a fundamental disagreement on this issue that doesn't get talked about a lot. I think that is mostly because people who harbor anti-capitalist views keep it hidden (and I think this number is actually pretty large).

I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive either, until you start bringing in government action. At that point in my mind, the only question is how significant the infringement will be, but the breach is there, nonetheless.
