You would do well to familiarize yourself with eminent 20th century Russian-American philosopher Ayn Rand.
A little homework for you!

What part of L(f(t)) = Int(exp(-s*t)*f(t),t,0,inf) don't you understand?

"Rights" as we know them are just privileges provided by our lovely government. There is no such thing, IMHO, as "inalienable rights." That was just a fancy term born out of typical "Age of Reason" optimism and a fairly weak understanding of how humans operate. The fact that a "higher" power gave me a laundry list of things that I can just do seems a bit far fetched to me. However, being given a laundry list of things that I can do from a bunch of guys in suits seems much more logical.

Freedom corrupts. Absolute freedom corrupts absolutely. Corruption is evil. Therefore, freedom is evil. Absolute freedom is absolute evil.
Fixed your sig for you.
