I have been to the old east Germany. May the chains of oppression that you desire rest lightly upon you and your proginey. They will never rest upon me and mine, with the exception of a post-necrotic state. Whence it matters not

Three years ago, the city that I live in demanded an inspections inside of my home to verify that I did not have a sump pump.

No problem, all they have to do was to provide me with a legal search warrant.

Since I refused to compromise on my Constitutional rights, the city fined me $100 per month.

No problem, I responded in the best way possible: I ran for City Council in the next election!

It was amazing how rapidly the city refunded my money.

I lost the election, but that was not my intention. Every single person who had voted for that vile city ordnance, was removed from office.

Since I was running for office, the city could not prevent me from speaking in public to my fellow citizens.

I achieved my goal.

Give me a freaking break.
