Government, as we must never forget, is force. And as Simone Weil so memorably observed, force is that mysterious influence "that turns anybody who is subjected to it into a thing. Exercised to the limit, it turns man into a thing in the most literal sense: it makes a corpse out of him."William Norman Grigg tells us some stories that will make your blood boil.
I wouldn't want to be one of the mini-tyrants he describes when a victim finally snaps. I wouldn't even want to be associated with them.
