I like the things that modern society provides for the most part, so I'm glad to be born now rather than in the past. However, I think people need to move past the idea that controlling their neighbor's life by force will do anything but hinder the productivity of society and create division between us.
Well I'm sure your HOA is more interested in controlling your neighbor's life than the government as home values are precious.

My argument is that you agree to the rules where you live and it's always been that way. You're going to have a hard time overthrowing anything here, but Africa and Latin America are always ripe for the taking if you're clever enough.

I hate what America has become, not what it originally was.

Being able to go anywhere in absent minded fashion and knowing quite well one is safe. No worries about where the money is coming to put food on the table or pay the mortgage.

You're living on the wrong planet. What you wish for doesn't exist.

Freedom: the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

Liberty: the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views.

Betcha the line in red makes some folks twitch.

One thing is for sure, those men who rebelled against the king of England were far less oppressed then Americans today.
