| 15. Hey now, limiting choice is now seen as good. We saved the Indians and other people from themselves |
|
Now it is time to save everyone else from making choices we deem to be 'savage'.
Controlling others is the best way progressives have of making this a better country for all.
Ban sins, create a puritan society, and complain about all those who came before us and did the same thing....
Control, it's not just for the RW fundies ya know.
