Government, Not The Oil Industry, Is The Biggest 'profiteer' From Oil. And It Uses The Tax Revenue To Expand Its Own Authority At The Expense Of The Individual, As It Does With An Endless Number Of Other Industries - Including Electric Power, Coal, Lumber, Pharmaceuticals, Automobiles, Aircraft, And Agriculture.

When Judicial Activists Resort To Various Inventions And Theories To Impose Their Personal Views On Privacy And Liberty, They Jeopardize The Legitimacy Of The Judiciary As An Institution And Undermine The Role Of The Other Branches Of Government.

Where Utopianism Is Advanced Through Gradualism Rather Than Revolution, Albeit Steady And Persistent As In Democratic Societies, It Can Deceive And Disarm An Unsuspecting Population, Which Is Largely Content And Passive. It Is Sold As Reforming And Improving The Existing Society's Imperfections And Weaknesses Without Imperiling Its Basic Nature.

When Justices Seize Authority From The Other Branches Of The Federal Government, As Well As State And Local Governments, Under The Rubric Of Judicial Review, That’s Tyranny.
