At the opposite side of the circle, left and right become one.
There is no form of tyranny better than any other.

Actually, I couldn't agree more. Which is why I do what I can to "out" the radical right. But for all the wrongs seen by the social right, the worst would be to permit them to instill a set of laws based on their religious and moral belief system. I'm completely content with a republican form of government that recognizes that the rights of all citizens trump all powers of the state...or of radical groups, either the left or the right.

Somehow the tyranny that fostered and maintained human beings as property and justified by good Christians comes to mind when you mention tyranny. As does the treatment of women and minorities by good white male Christian landowners. So when I hear of the freedoms we enjoy today described as tyranny, because a relatively small group cannot impose its moral and religious philosophy on the rest of us, I wonder what history that person has been reading.
