To paraphrase Mencken or Rourke or whoever said it better than I: "I
love liberty more than anything in the world, but not enough to impose
it on anyone else." Seems to me to be pretty obvious. Liberty
is "reserved" for everyone who embraces it, but not to anyone who has
it imposed at the point of a gun.
