Liberty, for those of you who didn't get it

See, here's where some of you need to put on your big-girl panties and understand that the laws of a free country are not based solely upon your 'approval.'

OLD AND BUSTED:  BUSYBODIES.  THE NEW HOTNESS:  LIBERTY.

Kevin "The Smallest Minority" Baker elaborates further, with a logic bomb that makes statists on either side run crying back to momma...
Prohibition was introduced as a fraud; it has been nursed as a fraud.
It is wrapped in the livery of Heaven, but it comes to serve the devil.
It comes to regulate by law our appetites and our daily lives.
It comes to tear down liberty and build up fanaticism, hypocrisy, and intolerance. It comes to confiscate by legislative decree the property of many of our fellow citizens. It comes to send spies, detectives, and informers into our homes; to have us arrested and carried before courts and condemned to fines and imprisonments. It comes to dissipate the sunlight of happiness, peace, and prosperity in which we are now living and to fill our land with alienations, estrangements, and bitterness.
It comes to bring us evil–only evil–and that continually. Let us rise in our might as one and overwhelm it with such indignation that we shall never hear of it again as long as grass grows and water runs. — Roger Q. Mills, 1887
It is not the business of government to make men virtuous or religious, or to preserve the fool from the consequences of his own folly. Government should be repressive no further than is necessary to secure liberty by protecting the equal rights of each from aggression on the part of others, and the moment governmental prohibitions extend beyond this line they are in danger of defeating the very ends they are intended to serve. – Henry George
It is not the business of government what we put in our bodies.
And give ‘em hell, Tam!
Nuff Said.
