He hates the freedom you and I and Malthus have to eat pork, because he is envious.

I cherish your freedom to do as you will.

You trust in goverment is appalling.


Yet you trust the government to treat brutally everybody it judges guilty of a crime :hmm:

Thanks.  Our ability to eat the sandwiches we want has been under constant fire.

Seriously is there any freedoms you don't ascribe to?  Also you are the government.  Who do you think pays your sorry ass?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The people, the taxpayer, pays my sorry ass, not the goverment.

And I can't think of any freedom I would not support, as long as we understand it does not affect other people.

I think almost every single person in the government could say that.

I envision Siegy's "Freedom" being much like George Michael's.

So you would open the borders completely?  Free movement of people?  Freedom to sell military secrets?  Freedom to walk around with suicide bomber vests?  Freedom to avoid safety regulations?  Freedom from government inspection of food and labeling requirements?  The freedom to sell you food with lead and mercury in it without having to tell you before hand?  Freedom to violate contracts at will with no repercussion?  "affecting" other people is a meaningless statement.  Pretty much everything you do affects someone else.  If you buy a loaf a bread it "affects" the person you buy it from.  It affects anyone else who wishes to buy a loaf of bread since there will be one loaf of bread less to buy.

I'm fairly certain that your checks come from the Treasury department, not average Joes handing you gold coins on the street.
