Indeed, it doesn't take 100 years of observation to grasp the destruction wrought civil society by armed gangs of thugs. It only takes removing the blinders of indoctrination to observe that every moment such abuse continues society pays a massive and insuperable price to tolerate it.
Freedom is of inestimable value, and the tawdry blessings of dependence on masters are no more than distractions from the truly valuable blessings of civilization we are able to ourselves produce and enjoy without being subjugated to overlords and deprived of our freedom to so produce.
Unfortunately those incapable of sovereignty, born to be slaves and requiring masters, are a substantial number in our midst, and all too often the mass of them groveling is enough to obscure from view, of we who must learn how to be free as we go, the truth that independent production and exchange is far more rewarding in what we value much more than mere money.
i love the freedom hardliners. thanks for all the fights you have fought on here on behalf of those who don't see the issue.
blessings!!!
