Utter madness... the fact that anyone could think that a person losing his freedom for a mutually consensual transaction of firecrackers is anything short of unfathomable evil is beyond me.

People will say, “Yeah, that’s fucked up, but we gotta have laws”. They see the leaves and miss the tree because their thinking is not rooted in principles.

But philosophy isn’t practical, right? No need to train the mind, I’m just born ready! Now, where’s my shoes... I have to go pull a lever so a satanic millionaire can make all my decisions for me.
