you gotta give it up to Mill for trumping liberty over the state, but his so-called "harm principle" is one of the most bludgeoned and abused pieces of philosophy to emerge from his day. If only he had expanded that a touch instead of being so vague. Nowadays, anyone who smells a stogie, reads a bad word, sees a naked lady or endures a verbal lashing says they're "harmed."
Minus points for his oatmeal-dude haircut tho. whazzupwidat?
