My response is: Well, we're all adults in this country. If we can't
take care of ourselves then ain't nobody gunna do it for us.
Tom Jefferson said: "Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted
to govern himself, can he then be trusted to govern others, or
have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let
history answer this question."

P.S. For people who admit they are too ignorant to govern themselves,
there is nothing preventing them from seeking out those who
would tell them how better to live. Just don't force the rest
of us to do the same.
