I didn't get that read at all. I read it as their journey of understanding how the world works and how they've reached their opinions on personal autonomy.

Your replies feel as if they're trying to paint turbobrew's comments as something more than they are; as some kind of prescribed doctrine, as opposed to an individuals opinion.

But that may just be because I happen to strongly agree with turbobrew's commentary.
