Hello Ron,

What's got my goat is the power of government to legally kill those who
oppose it, as millions of dead will testify. Eternal viligence is required
to keep government from eliminating those who speak out against its abuses.
The advent of government-defined "hate speech" is a troubling sign of our slide
away from individual freedom to collective totalitarianism. 

Thanks for asking.

Platt
