Well progress is not subjective, My view of it maybe, but then again a lot of practices for good or bad were stamped out through out history, the point is, that in some cases your rights end where someone else lives, and has to be accountable or responsible for YOUR actions. You can think how you want feel how you want, and if the needs of the many being more important than the few is a problem for you, then You need to do a LOT more research, because on almost EVERY SINGLE level of almost every group think ideology, that is a Mantra shared.
