I'm allocated one vote, just as you are.

Ah. The Mobocracy. "Let's vote on what everybody's favorite color is!"

The Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution with intent to protect us
from this form of tyranny as well.

How is preventing people from harming other people tyranny?

It's not. Forcibly preventing people from exercising their own free will,
and assuming the risks thereof, is tyrrany.

John, I thought you were one of the smart ones.

Thanks,
Rich

Is operating a casino free will? How about a meth lab?

"The risk thereof" could be 20 years in the slammer. Let them assume
that risk.
