In sexual relations we have a provocative, powerful word for the unwelcome imposition of another's desire by force. In political relations no such word exists. Benign euphemisms such as "consent of the governed" or "will of the People" address the issue from the opposite perspective. But the word that really captures the spirit of such violent coercion is 'rape'.
Every time you are forced to do something you never consented to you are being 'raped'. Is a 'little bit of rape still OK?
What's the difference if the 'rapist' happens to be wearing a badge and uniform?

If you consent to such activities you are no longer being raped, only fucked.
The next time the State tries it on, say 'no'. Every Statist wants to believe you were "asking for it". Make it clear that you never did and that now you are being raped.
Well said Barack, although he might have ended with: "we shouldn't have a bunch of politicians ... making decisions ... on behalf of anyone"
Forced coercion, in it's many forms, is deeply ingrained into the heart of every State.
If you really want to stop rape, start by saying 'no'.
Say 'no' to 'State Rape'
