You might say, "Williams, there are good reasons for restricting the freedoms of others." You're right, and every tyrant who has ever existed has had what he considered a good reason.

I've been saying this for about a week now on FreeRepublic:

"Each year politicians and bureaucrats pass and implement about 3,000 new laws and regulations. On average, the number of new laws increases each year. They tell us that these are must have laws and regulations that people and society must have. Question: how have people and society survived and even prospered for years and decades prior to the plethora of new, must have laws?

"The only people that need 3,000 new laws and regulations each year are the politicians and bureaucrats."

Why do politicians and bureaucrats need that many new laws each year?

I'll demonstrate by way of example. Civil rights laws are unnecessary and often destructive. But they do make for great look-busy work of parasitical-elite politicians and bureaucrats as they proclaim they're compassionately using government to help minorities and the little guy. Thus, that's supposed to justify their unearned paychecks and unearned power -- usurped livlihoods. Far more often than not they are hindering minorities and the little guy from prosperity creation and accumulation. Prosperity creation, creating and producing values is the legitimate route to earned paychecks and real power. They solve real problems whereas politicians and bureaucrats create problems where the need not exist.

How to protect the little guy:

The individual is the smallest minority. Protect individual-proprerty rights and all larger than one minorities are protected, as is the majority. IMO, civil rights laws are the brain-child of collectivists.

What's wrong with this picture?

Read the Fourth Amendment. Sheesh, we can't even trust our "employees" -- government officials -- to let them into our homes and businesses without a search warrant. But somehow a business is supposed to trust a total stranger with an open door policy. A person/business owner can refuse to allow a government employee access to his property but not a total stranger! And get this, it is the government that can't be trusted without a search warrant that is telling property owners that they must trust total strangers.

Discrimination laws are unjust.
