A study in tyrany and despotism
See Daw's ideas and then imagine him with the power to do these things. The impotent dictator. If there were a mass with torch's and pitch forks it would be a democratic or market forces expression that warrant's attention. If it's one squeaky wheel begging for grease it's a wanna be dictator. Use the ignore he limits his consumption, invoke censorship, banishment or drive someone away and he is deciding everyone's consumption for them regardless of your position on the matter. Dictators also like narrow and approved topics and speech according to what they find acceptable. Of course he sees a free speech, sound money, free thinking libertarian as the first that must go. Sorry Daw, no powers for you.

When I was a kid (and that's 7 decades ago) we also had the squeaky wheels and they were mostly ignored. Trouble is they kept getting louder and louder, not necessarily any smarter, and now they are running the world -- much to our detriment. Sometimes it seems it's not a bad thing being this old.:-))
