THE DAY
(if you were never a special person, you are a special
person now)
(if you can call an American a 'Day' and take away his civil rights,
what makes you think 'Night' will be any different? The end does
not justify the means, because the means is the end)

"Crime is crime, aggression against
rights is aggression, no matter how many citizens agree to the
oppression. There is nothing sacrosanct about the majority; the
lynch mob, too, is the majority in its own domain."
~ Murray Rothbard
The
Lynch-Mob
Mentality - At least Salem witch hunters gave pretenses
of trials before burning their fellow citizens at the stake.
Article by Glenn Greenwald.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised
for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be
better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral
busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his
cupidity may at some point be satiated; but
those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for
they
do so with the approval of their consciences."
~ C. S. Lewis
