Regulation by Force

"Forty years I've been asking permission to piss. I can't squeeze a drop without say-so."
--Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding (The Shawshank Redemption)

I constantly marvel at how some people propose to intervene in the lives of others and regulate those lives thru use of government force. It seems second nature to them. They propose such regulation without batting an eye.

They forget, conveniently, that it is every person's unalienable right to live unregulated lives. They cast aside our founding principle of liberty by seeking to control others via strong armed government agents.

Those seeking to regulate others are therefore principals of violence.
