The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. C. S. Lewis

Preventing the spread of drug addiction isn't tyranny. Suggesting such makes a mockery of real tyranny.

This is what I find so offensive about you people. You compare being murdered on account of your race or your faith to getting your hand slapped because you can't put down the weed. You compare brutal beatings and imprisonment in gulags to a "right" to puff on a narcotic for recreational purposes. You compare forced starvation, and torture to stopping dope addiction.

No, you're f***ing freedom is not at risk from Tyranny, all the rest of our freedoms are at risk from your refusal to behave like you live in a civil society.

What you want is the "freedom" to sh*t in the public swimming pool, and make the rest of us swim in it. Well i've got news for you bub, you don't have a "right" to sh*t in the public swimming pool. You have no legitimate NEED to sh*t in the public swimming pool. People are not "tyrants", because they won't let you sh*t in the public swimming pool.

Your assertions of "Tyranny" sound like the screechings of a little kid who just got spanked by his mommy.

How about you just stop using the word "Tyranny" to describe interference with your pet vice? It's completely inappropriate.
