It is illegal to burn someone’s house down.Anti-arson statutes help us create an orderly, civil society based on the rule of law.
If Bob Smith tries to burn down anyone’s house, we arrest Bob and put him in jail.Īre these anti-arson laws a form of tyranny? Rational people can see that, no, this is not tyranny. Therefore, as a society, we create and enforce laws against arson. As a society, we can agree that Bob’s actions have no place, and they should be illegal.

Three: “There are over a billion Africans, and they are energy starved. Two: “I mean, no modern economy can function without cheap, abundant energy and fossil fuel derived energy.” It requires a degree of state control over people, what people do, and how they live their lives, which is unprecedented.” One: “It requires tyranny if you’re going to force people to live low-carbon existences. But is he right? The article contains quotes like these from Darwell: If we want to look at the world through a climate denier’s eyes, Rupert Darwall certainly sounds credible.
