Rights defeated incrementally? They're going now lickety-split. How could anyone be surprised by a majority making the rules in ostensibly a democratic society? Gun control didn't drop out of the sky. Politicians represent people, not telephone poles. What's reading a scholarly treatise while citizens blithely submit to infringements on liberty over the whole gamut of their daily lives? That's mowing our lawns while our roofs are on fire. We've succumbed to a culture of fear. Spin. Don't look to England as a model of deference. The manufacturing of fear has been brought to exquisite perfection in the United States of America.
