Consider all the things man has invented that are dangerous or can be dangerous if used improperly. Throughout history man has taken steps to regulate these things. Today we have cars and airplanes that can only be operated legally by people who meet certain qualifications. Likewise modern science provides us with a wide range of medications that greatly benefit many people but require control because the medicines can cause great harm if used improperly. For those examples, and countless others, we accept controls. They are considered reasonable and rational. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
