And I&...Chiu,<br />No, I've enslaved no one to date.<br />And I'm sorry for your poor plight, bent under the oppressive burden of the federal government, as it works its will upon you. I am truly sorry.<br /><br />It is pretty clear that most of us are wretchedly mistaken in not seeing this, deluded, thinking we are enjoying the bounties of this great nation, in part due to our government and it's agencies. For example, I thought it a good thing, that the government protects certain land for all, and that it (we) fund research into scientific discovery and medical improvements. How foolish I have been in not seeing this as the whip that is killing us!<br /><br />I pity you the more, because when you finally break and take up arms against this nation, most will no doubt feel as I wrongly have, and simply see you as a terrorist. And some will applaud your destruction. <br />I will not. But I think you have a lot of work to do to bend the will of the nation to your point of view, to avoid that end.<br />Do what you have to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-5864584869928505882016-02-02T21:30:27.263-06:002016-02-02T21:30:27.263-06:00Slaves can avoid the beatings and physical pain, a...Slaves can avoid the beatings and physical pain, and most of them did for much of history. Slave-masters throughout history may have exaggerated their boasts of how well they treated their slaves, but in fact a healthier and less abused slave is always more useful, and incentives do work both ways.<br /><br />On the other hand, the beatings and even murders of those who refuse to submit do happen in your preferred system. It seems that you are no different from slavers of other generations in exaggerating how well you treat your slaves, how happy and free they are.Chiu ChunLinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519192610708043962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-57820336705580585332016-02-02T18:16:59.763-06:002016-02-02T18:16:59.763-06:00Your definition of slavery is nice and tidy!

Without the pain and anguish, the daily beatings, the lack of freedom of movement and of association, and the lack of payment for services normally associated with enslavement. <br />Your definition is self-serving, militia doublespeak. BS.<br /><br />But I get it. By this, anyone who has to pay taxes (namely all of us), are then slaves.<br />And the wealthy then must be the most enslaved.
