I don't agree. They should be shown the door, not pushed through it. Of 
course, it isn't a bad thing, in this case, but still. How would you 
like it if I became the dictator of India, did all the good things for 
the country, but took away your freedom in the process? Would you trade 
your freedom for the greater good of even yourself?
