I got a great laugh seeing these two statements in the same argument: "Just because nothing can ever reach the temperature of absolute zero, does not mean that absolute zero does not exist." followed by "A right to suppress the rights of others does not exist." So the first thing can exist even if there is no known instance of it anywhere in the universe (which by the way, I agree that it can exist and did not state otherwise), whereas the second thing absolutely cannot exist even though we see instances of it in many countries on lil' old planet Earth. As I see Kevin Pacey pointed out, such a right is even practiced in our modern democracies, all in the name of the law, which is imposed on the many by the few. Most Canadians would say this is good and proper. Most North Koreans, to use one example, would have a very different opinion. As I wrote, on and on it goes, ad finitum, ad nauseum....
