Character is not the enemy of self-expression and personal freedom, it is their necessary precondition.

Broken Window Theory: Consider a building with a few broken windows. If the windows are not repaired, the tendency is for vandals to break a few more windows. Eventually, they may even break into the building, and if it's unoccupied, perhaps become squatters or light fires inside. Or consider a sidewalk. Some litter accumulates. Soon, more litter accumulates. Eventually, people even start leaving bags of trash from take-out restaurants there or even break into cars.

Four innate sentiments dispose people to a universal moral sense. These are sympathy, fairness, self-control and duty.

One unrepaired broken window is a signal that no one cares, and so breaking more windows costs nothing.

Public order is a fragile thing, and if you don't fix the first broken window, soon all the windows will be broken.

There are no more liberals Theyve all been mugged.

Crime is the price society pays for abandoning character.
