The state can’t coerce people to change how they think or believe.
The only thing the state can enforce is compliance with the law.
Thus, positive law is flawed by nature. As results fall short of intentions, the state responds with ever-more-draconian laws and regs to bring compliance up to original expectations. And of course, the results of these attempts to legislate utopia into being fall even more short of the original goal.
Excellent point. National Journal being ridiculous again. Would she apply the same logic to Freedom of Speech? Should we ban all offensive speech in the name of tolerance? Association is NO DIFFERENT.
