Simple question...how do you maintain freedom without the presence of authority?

Second question...considering the overabundance of laws, from the Federal Constitution, to Federal codes, to State Constitutions, to State codes, then County and municipal regulations, and every other set of laws that we live under in this country, how can you actually claim that we don't cede a GREAT DEAL of our freedoms to the authorities?

Dear sweet lord, are you going back to that yet again?

Why are you wasting my time when I've already address that question, and you've refused to address mine?

We do. No doubt about it. And that's what Rudy is promising us.

It's my opinion that we've already ceded way too much freedom.

I'd prefer less government control and more personal responsibility.

Changing the school system to teach personal responsibility. That's a start. Same with Congress.
