What we need is withered government in hand with diminished statute more robustly applied. Today's totalitarianism has been applied over decades to the extent that many have no idea that they are singing from the gilded cage of their own fashioning.Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820269114208456064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-43482929476581889752010-12-13T15:28:00.800+00:002010-12-13T15:28:00.800+00:00Passivity is something we're induced into by a...Passivity is something we're induced into by all the little nastinesses we're encountering.
