Tyranny

“Tyranny, broadly defined, is the use of power to dehumanize the individual and delegitimize his nature. Political utopianism is tyranny disguised as a desirable, workable, and even paradisiacal governing ideology. There are, of course, unlimited utopian constructs, for the mind is capable of infinite fantasies. But there are common themes. The fantasies take the form of grand social plans or experiments, the impracticability and impossibility of which, in small ways and large, leads to the individual’s subjugation”.

From Ameritopia: the Unmaking of America by Mark Levin.

“Government: If you refuse to pay unjust taxes, your property will be confiscated. If you attempt to defend your property, you will be arrested. If you resist arrest, you will be clubbed. If you defend yourself against clubbing, you will be shot dead. These procedures are known as the Rule of Law”. – Edward Abbey

  64. One other thing I would like to talk about is that rather than trying to suit all your online degree training on days that you finish off work (as most people are drained when they come home), try to have most of your lessons on the saturdays and sundays and only one or two courses in weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your saturdays. This is really good because on the saturdays and sundays, you will be extra rested plus concentrated with school work. Thanks for the different suggestions I have learned from your site.

  91. Thanks a lot for your post. I’d prefer to say that the price of car insurance varies from one policy to another, since there are so many different issues which contribute to the overall cost. Such as, the model and make of the automobile will have a tremendous bearing on the purchase price. A reliable old family auto will have a more economical premium than just a flashy sports car.

  92. I would also like to express that most of those who find themselves devoid of health insurance are normally students, self-employed and those that are unemployed. More than half in the uninsured are really under the age of Thirty-five. They do not experience they are wanting health insurance because they are young and healthy. The income is normally spent on homes, food, along with entertainment. A lot of people that do represent the working class either entire or in their free time are not offered insurance by way of their work so they get along without because of the rising tariff of health insurance in the us. Thanks for the suggestions you write about through this blog.

  93. Hey there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group? There’s a lot of people that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Thank you

  94. Thanks for the strategies presented. One thing I also believe is credit cards providing a 0 rate of interest often attract consumers along with zero interest rate, instant acceptance and easy online balance transfers, however beware of the main factor that will probably void your current 0 easy neighborhood annual percentage rate plus throw you out into the very poor house rapid.
