The stakes are life, liberty, and property. I'm quite willing to
concede ignorance, but I am not willing to concede that my freedom
exists solely at the whim of my neighbors. Politicians may be
playing games for authority, but the innocent people killed and
jailed by them aren't.
If I am dead or enslaved, it makes no difference to me whether I was
mudered by a gun-toting thug or by vote-casting democrats. I must
protect myself from both. Since there is no period in human history
where criminals killed more innocent people than did governments,
that is the enemy I concentrate on.
