I think the IRS, and the general expansion of the administrative state, offer literally hundreds of thousands of reasons why.

Crazy thing is, we don't have churches making decisions about how to regulate the lives of random people. I really don't know how to make this distinction more obvious to the oblivious.

Only for the rationalizing sack of crap in the crowd, or those who place religious levels of faith in the state.

The other direction the reaction could go is that people say "Ah, all of these DC abridgements of the Second Amendment are a pile of crap, and we should strike them."
Whacky thing is, the state never seems to just relinquish power, and let liberty flower. . .

I teach for free several times a week, in fact.

And neither do I. Government employee unions remain a conflict of interest and a form of delayed mutiny, however.

I was expecting this to be about slashdot.

The simplicity of "form follows function" is really all you need to know. But keep up with the "simplicity is an anathema in your book" hooey; it's kinda funny.

Oh, far from it!
[tasteless_joke] I'd rather put all government employees in work camps [/tasteless_joke]
By which I really mean to say, if you're just going to ascribe ambitions to me wantonly, why not go big?

If one enjoys teaching, is it really work?

Are you asserting that government employees should work for free? Wouldn't that be, essentially, stealing their labor from them? A shockingly immoral thought.

Are you referring to?

For example, cannibalism and child molestation are two taboos that remain substantially beyond the pale.

What marriage issue? Marriage remains marriage, despite the liars. The real bummer on the equality front is that the analysis has not arrived at the libertarian realization that marriage should not be a province of the state, period.
Instead, we have the spectacle of one definition of 'Morality' being supplanted by another, and you sanctimoniously pretending that it's not an equal and opposite imposition. [golf clap]

Well that's the whole problem: democracy is subject to the voters, so if the voters are blithering idiots, well you're not going to get a very good government.

This is why democracy simply doesn't work in countries with moronic, uneducated populaces such as Zimbabwe, Egypt, or the United States.

All those paragraphs when you didn't read a single word I said...

Fuck is wrong with you?

I read somewhere, and can't produce it for a quick Google, that people tend to be conservative in fields of their expertise, and more liberal otherwise.
