At tonight's debate, Texas governor Rick Perry defended his decision to force young girls to get the HPV vaccine, arguing "at the end of the day, I am always going to err on the side of life." This single statement encapsulates the materialist, safety-at-any-price philosophy that desecrates the founders' memory. Even aside from the perverse undertone of this policy -- i.e., that the government accommodates underage fornication -- are its totalitarian implications. It wipes out a person's right to choose what risks to take, and it could just as easily justify harvesting organs from one person against his will to save the lives of ten.
Some things are worse than death, such as the loss of dignity and liberty. A true American instinctively knows this, and Mr. Perry has revealed himself to be anything but.
