[DiogenesLamp]

I’m dealing with humans, I don’t foresee a utopia. I do see an end to wasteful government spending, oppressive paramilitary police actions, dangerous compromises of the constitution and asset-forfiture laws that make everything you own subject to government seizure on a whim w/o due process.

This is exactly what I mean. You do not have a realistic view of the world.

You cannot see the legal sewer you already occupy. You’re up to your neck in sewage and think that’s how the world is supposed to smell and nothing better is possible.

The statists want you to believe that ceding freedom to them will protect you from the horrors of drugs or terrorism or gun-owners. This cure is literally worse than the disease.
