Oh, but you need all these laws, because people are too stupid/immoral/base to look after themselves. It is unfair for stupidity to be painful anyway - idiots need to be protected from hurting themselves. Personal responsibility and liberty are overrated anyway.

You just summed up the beliefs of the entire left.

I just cring when I hear commentators say that the authorities are building their case against someone. They choose a suspect, based on their assumptions, and then they build a case. Scary. If they want to, they will get you on something. Meanwhile, the public assumes that where there is smoke, there must be fire.
