“We either live in a free society or we live in a police state”
With no possibility of anything in between? Like having no laws against food, drugs and substances you buy that are knowingly designed to kill or to sicken you or your children? That anyone can sell anything they choose and call it anything they want and make any claim they want about it no matter what, whether it will kill you, maim you, or cause long term harm? No laws against fraud, theft or murder? Anyone can engage in reckless behavior against you or your family on the highway or anywhere else. It’s OK for your neighbor to poison your well and your livestock, or trespass and cut down all of your trees?
That’s not living free nor in a police state. That’s called anarchy and chaos.
Did we have anarchy before we had the WOD?
