We should be climbing down not up. We should not be planting more trees. We should seek to reduce government coercion in all areas not to increase it. Sometimes coercion is essential. It wouldn't be reasonable to let one dissenter disrupt every endeavor that requires unanimity.
Government is, and always has been, a matter of balance.
We must strike the balance in favor of limiting coercion, rather than expanding it. Advocates of government coercion should bear at least as great a burden of proof of necessity as the prosecutor in a criminal case. If we fail to act decisively, the brine of coercion will corrode our nation and our civilization into a pile of crumbling rust.
