| Message | We have issue with articles 3 and 5. We do not believe gated communities....although some could view this as taking away the rights of individuals, there are some things that the state should monopolise. Just like we don't believe people should form their own armies, militia, and lynch mobs, we believe the state should be in charge of border control, which is what a gated community effectively is. We dispute Article 5 merely because we believe that invisible structural barriers and impedements must be addressed. Equal access/opportunity does not always result in equal outcome, yet that is usually the goal of the exercise. We otherwise agree with the other articles, but cannot vote 'yes' overall because of the aforementioned. |
