I've consistently argued that The Leviathan State eventually succeeds in stealing the country from the people. Unless the individuals, who make up "We The People" are serious about their country, and re prepared to fight for it, should the need arise, "we the people" will lose their country, their liberty, freedom and rights - begining with the fundamental rights of self-ownership, right to associate or dissociate and the right to dissent and citicise the government.
Bob Basso, Happy American Independence Day. You sir, are a true patriot and an inspiration.
