Remember, Freedom is something we want for ourselves, not the other guy. Want proof? Go look up a tobacco thread.

“Remember, Freedom is something we want for ourselves, not the other guy.”

Your cynicism is unhelpful, at best. Why even reply if you are so comfortable with such repression?

“Want proof? Go look up a tobacco thread.”

It is the reason that ‘democratic’ agreement should be mocked as ‘mob rule’ when it adopts repression of individuals for their rightful choices. The tyranny of the majority is what the Founding Fathers hoped to end/moderate with our republican system.

Instead, you address me mockingly, even patronizingly, and dismiss my concerns in support of the mob; which you appear to give the power to do so by simply seizing it, a fait accompli, unstoppable ...

Sad.
