Really? I assume
(and this is a rhetorical question, not prying into your personal business..
you've Filed / Payed your Taxes? Why?? It's Voluntary, ya know? States-so right in the Tax-code. BUT if you Don't file / pay.. Why not? Cause you *choose* not to.. or because of the
Threat of the 'consequences'? Is it Truly 'Freedom' if your "choices" are - in the end - Do or Die? (or, jail, etc)
What about the 'TSA'? 'Then take the train'? Pff.. That's a FORCED choice, Not Freedom.. 'OK, fine, I'll consent to the xray / pat-down, because, hey - there jsut *might* be some guy trying to sneak a binary on my flight, so, yeah, ok.. Now I feel 'safer'.. But, wait.. What? I can't take the SEALED bottle of Water I JUST BOUGHT, outside the "security line", and would be more than happy to demonstrate that it's NOT nitro or ful of ricin, etc by Drinking some??! Why Not??'.. Again, a FORCED choice.
(and, based on some pretty terrible Lies / subterfuge, I might add..
There is *so much* so-called "Freedom" in this country that is Just like in the 'purification' scene near the end of 'Braveheart'.. 'Confess, and you shall recieve mercy'
(a 'quick' death by beheading.. not much of a 'good choice') ..Confess-Not, and you shall recieve your purification by Pain
(then, it was torture, for Us, it's 'penalties', shut-offs, etc, and eventually, jail..) Yes, these are 'metaphors', but.. Can you see ALL the 'parallels' we suffer, here? I sure do..
..Seriously, Take the time to Watch this:

(and I, for one, think it's Dead-on..)
