LOL! Freeus, c'mon, man. I have no incredible love for this country, myself. But that's an incredibly ridiculous statement. There are laws I live under. None of them prevent me from achieving what I desire in life. Yes, the argument can be made that my desires are not yours, but conformity under any government is a fact of life. Putting power back into the state's hands will not change any tyranny that you consider. The framers set a guideline, Federalist #10 backed it up. If you don't agree, I am sorry. But because we are, in fact, free, then you are given options. One suggestion would be to pack up and live somewhere else. As it is, I am happy, and do not consider any rule laid down before me a burden. Call me a sheep, call me anything you want. But I live within the system to achieve my goals and I use the rules to my advantage. It will benefit me in life, as it already has. Matty Gregg
