Hence government supported attacks against the 2nd Amendment. Every resistance by the people, for the people, has been through the end of a barrel.
Of course we don't truly possess things. Even if you pay off your house, your car, etc.. you are still forced to pay insurance and property tax.
No we do not own our bodies. Prostitution anyone? Government passes a law forbidding how you, the individual, can and cannot use your body.
Want to live off the grid? Grow your own food? With all the regulations placed on farming and size restrictions, you better keep in on the DL.
Basically if there is any way to live outside government control or influence, our hypocritical law makers will go well beyond the Constitution to prevent it.
Regardless of the people, nothing has changed in 2 centuries. Now that a high percentage of people live off the government, resistance is futile.
Now back to work and hobbies to take my mind off reality.
