[Repeal The 17th]

“Them”
“They” tell me
what I can drive
where I can drive it
what kind of insurance I need
how many miles per gallon I should get
how many air bags I should have
when I should use my seat belts
what kind of seat my kids should sit in
when my lights should be on
how my gasoline is formulated
how my brakes are configured
how mush co2 is in my exhaust
-
how many gallons of water my toilet uses
how many gallons of water my washing machine uses
how efficient my air conditioner is
what kind of coolant my air conditioner uses
what days I can wash my car
how many smoke detectors I should have
how far apart should the studs in my walls be placed
the composition of my dishwasher detergent
whether I should use paper or plastic
-
what kind of weapons I can buy
how many rounds my magazines should hold
-
what kind of pesticide I can use
-
when I should reset my clock
-
what my kids should learn in school
-
what I can put in my carry on bag
what I can put in my checked bag
-
what kind of plants I can grow
where I can smoke
-
who I can hire
how much I should pay them
how many days off they should get
what benefits I have to offer them
-
where I can be buried
how my body must be embalmed
-
etc, etc, etc, etc...
I could go on and on...
-
Yet, you say I am a free man?
NOT!

Yep, and those people who tell us every little thing we can and can't do are failing in spectacular fashion in national security, economy and social/cultural progress in our country.

The most incompetent and corrupt has beens and never wases control nearly everything.

So true, yet many will die “free men” I fear. There is no other choice being left to “liberty lovers”. Soon there will be no room left to retreat.
