Re: taxonomy of legitimate government restrictions
I'm not so sure discriminating.harm is all that superior to "indisriminate harm". Didn't the gas chambers of the holocaust discriminate.
Besides, how are these rules to be enforced?
P.s. If we ban pesticides lots of people will starve.

Please refer to the first and second treatise of The GOM by one Nietzsche, Friedrich.
The Vonhamsonshmidt translation is the best if u can find it. If not, Kaufmann will suffice.
