We are all slaves now.

Now, you're stealing Aurelius's lines. I'll just tell you what I told him back in post 157:

"Someday, if there is an afterlife, perhaps you can meet some real slaves who could be legally chained and bought and sold like corn. And you can tell them about government and swap slave stories with them.

But for now you're talking to me and I live in the same country and time as you. And I know that you have no chains but the ones that your mind imagines."

Don't wimp out on us with the "I'm just a slave in chains" baloney. You're a free man. What do you want to do that the mean old government won't let you do?

You just have to learn that you can't depend on the government to provide you with happiness.
