   You seem to have forgotten about that "law is the tyrant's will" part.   
   And furthermore   
      
   >those people have the ability and the responsibility to determine who is   
   allowed to enter.   
      
   Himbo might have won a small majority in the election, but he did not   
   win a consensus.  And so some of us feel it is our responsibility to   
   stand up and say, you do not speak or act for me, asshole.
