The majority of people who just want to live safe, comfortable, predictable lives have a right to use government to protect themselves from the (very substantial) minority of people who are shitbags.

Predictable? There's autocratic regimes out there where life is much more predictable. We probably more laws to keep government and other autocratic shitbags in check.

[rayiner]

Yes, predictability is something normal people value, and are entitled to structure their society to encourage.
