I've heard Noam Chomsky say a few times that the balance between tyranny and freedom fluctuates, giving us times of great freedom and times of great tyranny. I won't go as far as to say that this is a great time of tyranny, but I will say that the relationship is that of causation. One causes the other, which causes the other. Irresponsible lawmaking eventually leads to responsible law making. I hope I get to see the latter in my lifetime.

You and me both, man. I think we can all agree on that much.

I'm disappointed, but I hope they see the error - and I hope it doesn't take a mother dying needlessly for them to see the mistake.
