TO BE GOVERNED

[Insurrectionist]

is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harrassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed, and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality!"

Well isn't that what our government has been doing to the people of the USA? Do we not need to put a stop to it? Do we continue to have these things done to us? Should we lay down and continued TO BE GOVERNED?

Fire was scary to the first few Neanderthals who tried to use it but we've found a useful balance for it since.....
Government, like fire, needs to be used with care and always watched by those who have the power to extinguish all or part of it.

I think it's to late, to many dumb people...
