just now.

p.s.   and, i will say it again.  what is human nature, except that which when viewed provides the proper perspective upon and defines the proper limits and constraints upon the governance of one human by another?

any governance which forgets or eschews these limits very quickly devolves into tyranny.

hence, any governance which tries to shape the behavior of humans to fit an ideal image removed from human nature is tyranny.

i give you socialism.  and, by simple extension, the tyranny of islam.
