Some time ago I started to notice people using the phrase "civil liberty" with a sneer, and I asked some of them if they were against liberty? Expecting that this was a rhetorical question and they'd say they weren't. Turned out that, yes, yes they were.
This was years before I learned that some people are, yes, in favour of torture. I keep thinking I'm unshockable, and I keep being proved wrong.
