In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Refill the punch bowl!

Every time the market tries to take the punch bowl away and end the party, the Fed steps in and refills it. The new punch is simply more "soma" to keep Wall Street happy. Wall Street and the big banks are hooked on the drug, and they want the party to be never ending. Today's action by the Fed, and the subsequent rise in the markets, spells ultimate doom and more pain later. The more the Fed prolongs the party, the greater the ultimate pain will be. There will be a reckoning.

As you recall, soma was the drug most people were hooked on in Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel about the future, Brave New World.
