Just because something is "for the children" doesn't necessarily make it right - even if the end result is a positive one

I think the problem with the "Go GET'EM" crowd is that in general they have this puritanical religious fervor that minimizes the need for due process and fairness and subjugates all to a strict moral code that rejects the need to "presume innocence until proven guilty". Theyre sort of like jihadists, and it is beyond scary.

There was quote on FR not long ago that we would legislate ourselves right into a fascist state "for the children".

I thought that it was fairly apt. And, that we were getting there quickly.
