In the end, the big cities are as banal as the suburbs which they are supposed to trump culturally. I am not surprised by the pitfalls of the St. Charles County puritans and the urban progressives nearby, since both do not accept the sovereignty of the mind. Perhaps they are too used to the way things have always played out over time under government that has powers to censor. Perhaps these people are impatient with change of the social variety, or they recognize its hopelessness, and they instead seek to force others to their plan. In any case, the law does not refuse to comply with pressure from cultural censors.
Lawmakers are eager to place limits on human minds for their own reasons.
However, the mind has no limits set by anything else but itself. If the self does not capitulate to the spirit of the censors, no matter if it obeys the law, it cannot be won. Free will is the reason liberty always exists, and this is why only the individual can make himself free.
