Everybody just has a different idea of what it is they don't want others to do, and can't understand that giving that power to government in one instance gives that power to government in all instances.

Ben Franklin said "A republic, if you can keep it".

You say we can't understand that difference. I say we did at one time and can again, but we have to want to. I want to, and I want other people to. I want to keep that repulic.

Why is that wrong?

I never said it was wrong. I just look at our history and say it’s is unlikely, and quite frankly, probably impossible. People can’t even accept others smoking a plant for cryin’ out loud.
