“...We cannot let a popular majority take it away,...”
Someone can only “take away” what you choose to let them take away.
Even if they use force. It’s still your choice.
The moment they try to “take away” is the moment you decide whether to let them, or make them pay heavily for it.
Like all of life, it’s a choice. All choices have consequences.
But it is still a choice. Obey, or do not. Those are the options.
If you obey, you often times find yourself with your hands bound behind your back, held there by some of the people in Travis’ historical photo montages.
Is that a drone flying overhead?
