While "moral philosophy" has ceased to be a subject serious authors contemplate, the illogic conctained in this statement demonstrates that those wielding the power of government have become deranged.

And when we abandon the principal of personal responsibility for the consequences of our actions, not thoughts, but actions, we surrender the foundations of western morality.
