Perfect! In that case I do in fact totally agree with your point, which is that I chose to be a Republican (because I want to make a positive difference in the world, and that choice optimizes my opportunities) whereas I did not choose to be tall and ugly (the height I get from both parents, but the ugly is all Dad’s).
So in a sense, when the mob arrives to burn all Republicans at the stake, it’ll be at least party my fault, because I chose to take a stand. You’re right. If they burn me for being tall, I can’t be blamed.
