My question is: what happens if the government–or de facto government–comes to control our every last action? If we allow this, are we “protecting our children”? Not if we believe, as I do, that freedom is necessary for a fulfilling life.
And where are we drifting? Is it really an improvement if we are all wandering around by ourselves, lost in some VR contained in high tech glasses, consuming vicious scenes of torture, murder, and wanton cruelty, and completely emotionally separated from one another? Would this be better, if all guns of any sort had been confiscated, and everyone had to content themselves to shooting or watching being shot, hundreds of people every day? Is this peace? Is this freedom?
Think. Look. See.
