Democracy and freedom in direct conflict
Think anti-smoking laws. Democracy rules, and now that a majority of citizens are non-smokers, they can vote to make the minority "behave".
Think historic district regulations, the Patriot Act, drivers license databases, and the partisan press.
Think the tyranny of the jackass, and the triumph of tight-assed political correction.
David Warren's website, down for a week or so is back. I especially like this one:

If you've posted in forums you might remember writing some decent responses. I usually spend a lot of time polishing my discussion forum responses depending on the subject or who I am talking to. Often I want to remember what I said about something, but finding the original post can be difficult. So it makes sense to capture the better responses for later review. Welcome to Clint's Reposts.
