I hope I'm not part of that subspecies. Liberty is reciprocal, and just because you hav ethe right to act a certain way, that doesn't mean it's right to do it. I have every right to flip off and curse out anyone I meet on the sidewalk, but that would make me quite the unwelcome individual. I have the right to never tip anyone. The tipping system in America is a weird tradition anyway. But it's also not cool to mistreat underpaid servers.

Nah, the particular subspecies I am referring to are the ones who are almost violently possessive of their freedom, while lacking the intelligence/insight to understand the concept of reciprocity. Somehow, they believe that their "right" to freedom includes the "right" to not have anyone disagree with them.
The tipping system is weird, and I say that as someone who grew up without it. Frankly, I prefer the price on the tag being what I have to hand over... be that sales tax, my cable bill or the bill at a restaurant. But that's not how it works, so I deal with it!
