You appear to be as patronizing as the people you fight with.

You are also telling me we live in slavery, and calling my thoughts stupid. Yet you sit at your five hundred dollar plus computer and mock the very system and society that lets you write your opinions that are read by anyone who cares to. Nobody is breaking your door down and arresting you for them. You are free to advance any theory you want, even these conspiratorial absurdities. Some slavery.

I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you entirely, but people with such high mindedness apparently would rather stand alone. My blessings to you.

I'm not being patronizing, I'm just sick and tired of those who REFUSE to see what's going on behind the scenes BECAUSE they have their computer, color TV and plenty of food to eat. Try driving your car through a government check-point without your seat-belt on, try building a little storage shed for your pretty new riding mower without getting the government's permission and paying the appropriate tax or fee, try driving your car down the roads that YOU pay for without first paying the government for the priviledge of doing so AGAIN, try getting married without the appropriate license, try practicing law (or a whole host of other livelyhoods) without the government's paper giving you permission, try homeschooling YOUR child without (at the VERY least) filling out the paperwork REQUIRED by the government, try not paying the government their rent (taxes) on YOUR land and see what happens, try selling a firearm that has been in your family for generations at ANY sort of public gathering without a license, try carrying a firearm to protect yourself and your family without the permission of the government or without paying the mandated fees and see what happens. Our prisons AND graveyards are full of FREE people who weren't doing anything that WAS legal just 80 or so years ago but has now been made illegal by those in power with the firepower to back up their wishes. Ever read Frederic Bastiat's The Law? Maybe you should, we're not NEARLY as free as you seem to think we are just because we can run our mouth on the Net and not be shot in our tracks. The nice citizens of Russia, Germany, China, etc. didn't immediately go from relative freedom to the killing fields either but that didn't change the outcome.

Those who will not learn from history are doomed to repeat it...
