Don't make me draft a bill on your narrow ass.
Hmm. Philosophical conundrum. In bronxelf_ag001's journal, I said the following:
After I take over the world, remind me to tell the people who start campaigns to have the government ban things they don't personally like to shut the hell up, please.
Now, do you see the conundrum into which I have entered? If I as the government tell these people to shut up, then I will be enacting on an official level a ban on appealing to the standing government on matters of interest or possible civic import, all due to one citizen's disdain for hearing such things. This is admittedly coming from me, but that isn't the point. I'd be bowing to the pressure of the minority to bring down pressure from the government on something that minority position doesn't like.
Are you beginning to see why absolute power becomes self-defeating?
