I hope you help prove yourself wrong, with all due respect. We can do this. I’m sure it was a similar argument going on in Philly with those gents looking to tell England to flake off.
America Sleeps... What will it take to wake her up? SLAVES to the narcotic of wealth. So wealthy that they will give up 60% of earnings to feed the addictions of State. A wasteland of predictability and rules. From the time they are five Americans live in a highly regulated, controlled, predictable civic incubator, controlled by a bell. A bell that announces when to eat, when to nap, when to move, when to sit still. All the while surveiled by government employees who maintain peace at the price of justice or truth. This is provided for FREE! Is it any wonder that when they grow up to be adults Americans demand free stuff, in a highly predictable, highly controlled environment where they are told to submit to excessive taxation while being surveiled by government employees. So behold the mighty STATE created for and expecting your willing Proskynesis.
