"Your Liberty is Our Interest"

I read your article "Ballot Box Bullies" and I think it is right on the money!  It is unbelievable how otherwise normal and honest people become scoundrels when hidden behind the anonymity of "mob rule". 

It reminds me of the time you spoke to a group of students in a classroom.
You put a $ 20 bill on a desk and asked: " If I stepped out of the room for a minute and one of you took this money, would this be right?"  The students agreed it would not be right, it would be stealing.

"What if several of the students took the money, would that make it right?"
No, that would still be stealing!

"What if all the students got together and voted to take the money, would
that make it right?"  No, that would still be stealing for that is your money and they have no right to take it without your permission.

"What if all the students voted to take the money and decided to donate most of it to the needy, would that make it right?"  The answer was still NO! Even if the intentions are good, the money was still stolen from you and that is not right!

These students could see that this was not right, why can't our politicians
understand this as well?
