As I watch my score on this post waver up and down, it seems that this is a controversial point.

I find this surprising. Perhaps some down-voters could respond regarding their downvotes.

I believe that my post is topical, certainly with respect to its parent; and it's at least trying to add a finer level to the discussion, rather than just a throwaway.

Is it that you don't regard those "Column B" things like property rights as "civil liberties"? Is it that you think this A/B distinction along left-right lines is the natural order of morality, and I should just accept it?
