oloriel: (tolkien - oh for eru's sake.)


Some Tea Party fuckwit whom I thankfully don't have to know, but maybe he's famous, whatever, was shown on the news, protesting the Supreme Court's decision:
"No government in the world is allowed to tell me what to do!"

Erm, yes, honey. Actually, they are. It's called The Law, and it doesn't just cover health care. I hope you're abiding by the laws of your country (or state), Mr. Tea Party Fuckwit, because otherwise, that'd be criminal.

As the immortal Sokrates so wisely observed: By living somewhere, you agree to obey the law of that place. If that law is so disagreeable to you that you don't want to obey it, you ought to move somewhere the law is more to your taste...

And no, I'm not talking about Sokratis the footballer (though Mr. Tea Party Fuckwit probably doesn't know him, either)...
