Would you knock this off?
The bullies got the law changed in their favor, about eight years ago.
That changes the situation to the point that the analogy is not
accurate, and insulting.
Yes, and the law has been upheld by the courts.. this isn't vague
speculative stuff.
This pro-anarchism-stick-it-to-the-man stuff is really harmful. ... it
will be used to justify further encroachments on freedom... and it
will be used used to attack the character of people who try to defend
against those encroachments.
Its ironic that whatever way you read that you are accepting that some
restrictions prevent more restrictions, effectively saying that human
freedom is ultimately limited by what its government says it can be
without a thought for actual freedom. Too bad more people don't feel
like that.... It would make this "peoples democracy" thing so much
easier if they blindly accepted any decision you made.
