Should it be legal? A simple decision matrix.
Nov 22, 2020
- We have a lot of laws that use force (as all laws by their nature do) to limit choice, freedom, and activity.
- A free society should limit such use of force as much as possible.
- Because I prefer something doesn’t mean you should be forced to agree.
- Politicians should stop passing laws that limit human freedom unless necessary to protect others’ freedoms and individual rights.
- For more background on this simple idea, see my previous post, “Gillespie’s Maxim: I believe in choice in everything.”
- I’ve made this simple decision matrix to try and help answer the question of whether something should or should not be legal.
