There may come a time - sooner than you imagine - when those of us who work to pay unearned, endless benefits to others will choose to no longer do so. For the record, that is. But just between ourselves... we will make the appropriate arrangements: value in exchange for value, voluntarily and free from coercion. We may well even assume functions formerly reserved for governments - because such governments no longer operate as our servants, but as our masters.

And we may also come to provide for our own defense - individuals, families, neighbors, and communities - because our elected officials no longer obey or represent us, but have chosen instead to become accessories to plunder. The only alternative is a return to constitutional representative government - which both major parties currently appear to shun.

Liberty is rare in human history because it requires both continuous effort and vigilance. Dependency is so much easier - until one runs out of providers.
