The state shouldn't be going around trying to nanny the population to protect them from their own stupidity.
In general I agree. Thought there's sometimes a fine line between protecting people from their own stupidity and protecting other people from others' stupidity.
"We are going to take away your right to vote because we believe you voting is dangerous to other peoples health and instead we will cast your vote for you based on how we believe you should vote".
Every vile evil act ever committed on a mass scale as done to "protect" someone somewhere from something.
Here is the thing, *** like me exist in this world. Someone like me would look at any law, rule or regulation and find a way to distort it's original intention to further my own cause. I would also lie, cheat, steal, manipulate and coerce other people to serve me and you'd end up with a very bad person oppressing you. The entire purpose of the Constitution is to ensure that someone like me, who would otherwise seek to conquer and rule you, instead thinks "*** that noise, too much work".
The people on the left, and right, are evil manipulative *** like me and will abuse their position to dominate every last one of your sheep. Don't trust them.
