Isolationism is simply the doctrine of minding one's own business. I do not meddle in my neighbor's business, nor they in mine. That doesn't mean we aren't neighborly, we are. It doesn't mean we don't transact business with each other, we do.
If they see I could use hand with something, they offer assistance. If I can do something to help them, I do. We do not try to tell each other what to do, though. Nor do we meddle in each other's disputes that do not directly involve us.
So true. It's like people who give unsolicited help or feel they need to run up and butt into your arguments that has nothing to do with them and just make more problems for you or results you didn't want. It's an attack on your own autonomy and desires. It's to be said that there is a difference between pulling someone out of the way of the train they don't see and say forcing medicine down their throat they chose not to take.

I almost responded that perhaps they automatically associate "negative rights" with actually being something negative...but then I realized that would be giving them too much credit, eh?
