This is frustrating for those of us who believe the laws of the United States, not to mention U.S. governmental policy, should be based on reality rather than wishful thinking. Here is the main source of the divide between the right and the left in American politics: The right-winger believes his fellow human beings’ freedom of action is a benefit that accrues to all, while the left-winger believes your freedom to conduct your life as you see fit is a threat that must be “controlled” for the “common good.” The right-winger believes that we ought...
