Would you agree with the following:
  You don't want people intruding into certain aspects of your life.
  You believe you would have a better standard of living if others
     did not intrude into certain aspects of your life.
  You have certain rights that are not negotiable and others must
     respect.
  If others do not respect your rights then they will suffer the
     consequences of your retributive actions.
