One man with a vision.

In our discussions of the use of the power of the State vs liberty of the individual, I often make reference to a sordid affair in America's history brought about by one man's pursuit of vice in a vain attempt to control the country's morals. Who is this purveyor of piety? None other than Anthony Comstock. He is as good an example of one person misusing the power of the State as you can find. Right up there with Hoover and McCarthy. Can there be any better cautionary tale for allowing the States authority to be too easily be misappropriated by those with a personal agenda?
