Freedom is Good - Mandates are Bad.

But, if you don't like Freedom, then pick a slave master. But even then,
you can't escape Freedom, because _you_ are the one who decides which
master to subjugate yourself to.

The problem is that many people want to "ban" things they see as bad,
whether for the environment or personal health. Inasmuch as environmental
insults damage and deplete our collective natural resources, we as a
people are justified in levying taxes to limit unreasonable waste,

So, who gets to sit at the Godhead and dictate what's "unreasonable"?

Thanks,
