Thanks for all you do.

In our Republic we think that we have a Democracy, but we elect our politicians to represent us. The closest thing we have to a Democracy in our government is THE NINE SUPREMES, and they are the sorriest part of our government.

In our Republic we think our Founding Fathers fought and died for Freedom. Nathan Hale did not die for Freedom, he died for Liberty.

After the Slaves were freed, during our Civil War, we have tended to blurr the distinction between the Freedom and Liberty.

If one is completly "Free" then anarchy is the end result. Liberty, on the other hand, involves a sense of responsibility for the consequences of ones actions.

For example, I am at Liberty to break a store window, but to break it would mean that I would have to pay to have the window restored, as well as pay damages for injury to others, and the goods damaged in the store. I thus choose not to break the store window.

A free man can break any window he wants, and never be held accountable for his actions. Thus, anarchy is the result.
