Once you buy the argument that some segment of the citizenry should lose their rights, just because they are envied or resented, you are putting your own rights in jeopardy — quite aside from undermining any moral basis for respecting anybody's rights. You are opening the floodgates to arbitrary power. And once you open the floodgates, you can't tell the water where to go.

一旦你接受部分公民因被他人忌妒或怨恨而應失去權利的論點，你就將自己的權利置於危險之中——除了破壞尊重任何人權利的道德基礎之外。你是在打開任意權力的水閘。而一旦你打開了水閘，就無法控制洪水的去向。
