[my political statement for this year]
as we all know much of what we think say, or feel has been done/felt 1000 times before. I have found a passage that i feel describes the bulk of my sentiment towards government...
I love this country because it allows US the freedom to "do what we want" (this freedom is paid for dearly~ so it is a paid for privelege)
<<<"Ever since States came into existence, the political world has always been and continues to be the stage for high knavery and unsurpassed brigandage--brigandage and knavery which are held in high honor,since they are ordainedby patriotism, by transcendent morality,and by the supreme interest of the State.This explains to us why all the history of ancient and modern States is nothing more than a series of revolting crimes; why past and present kings and ministers of all times and all countries-- statesman,diplomats,bureaucrats,and warriors-- if judged from the point of view of simple morality and human justice, deserve a thousand times the gallows or penal servitude.
For there is no terror, cruelty, sacrilege, perjury, imposture, infamous transaction, cynical theft, brazen robbery, or foul treason which has not been and is still not being committed daily by representatives of the State.
by Michael Bakunin
