“I don’t want to live in a world where the government isn’t afraid of the people. I don’t want to live in a world where police are allowed to act like the masters over a population of slaves who either comply instantly or face death. I don’t want to live in a world where politicians are able to do whatever they want and the people feel they must obey them. I don’t want to live in a world where politicians and their enforcers decide what rights we have, and how those rights can be limited, rationed, or licensed. Where we are expected to thank them for not doing worse. … Unfortunately, this is the world we have been dealt. What can be done about it? First of all, realize this is backward.” (10/29/25)
