I don't think I agree with Mill
@Sarky B’stard
On suicide he says that a person should not have the freedom to take their own life thus surrendering their ability to enjoy freedom and society should be able to intervene and stop people ending their own life"? The one true freedom we have is the ability to end our own lives when we decide to.
On marriage he felt that it's one of the most important foundations of society and yet couples should have the ability to end it at will whenever they agree and see fit without legal intervention. That seems to make marriage essentially pointless in the first place.
On drugs, gambling and perversion he apparently believed that 'anything goes' as long as you aren't a pimp or dealer and you aren't doing anything enshrined in law as illegal. All well and good as long as the law maintains a stern outlook on what is and isn't illegal.
No wonder a copy of the book is given to each successive leader of the 'Anything goes' LibDem party. At a quick skim it seems the very manual for the way the Western world is being mushed into the dirt at the moment.
On the plus side it doesn't really matter as, come February Russia will invade Ukraine and take the first tentative steps towards WWIII while the USA, UK and EU continue to decay and weaken as opposition for the new Soviet Socialist Takeover of the globe of excrement otherwise known as Earth.
