“Enslaved societies are atomistic, while free societies are molecular. When every individual is a solitary BB, and you dump all the BBs into a sack—we shall call the sack ‘the state’—you find that it has all the solidity of a bean bag chair. At some point it occurs to the powers that be that it would be to their advantage to encourage sexual license, and to legalize pot, which is a move that greases all the BBs. Individuals are in no position effective to resist the encroachments of the state. For that we need Edmund Burke’s little platoons.”
