I see.  In the name of Progress and Freedom, you wish to deny some people
the freedom to make decisions about their personal lives.  You know what's
Correct.  You know you know what's Correct.  And all those retards out

Of course, your motives are only the most honourable!  And sure, Brutus
was an honourable man.
