Part of the reason tyranny is bad is because everyone is afraid to be kind or accept help because they are afraid of tyranny.

Why take a chance giving someone a ride if they might be an illegal immigrant from Canada?

Why feed the homeless or give money to beggars if you'll just go to jail?

Why donate to the poor if the government already steals your money via taxation to fund welfare?

Why would anyone accept help if they were afraid the Good Samaritan would be arrested because of video surveillance and NSA wiretapping?
