"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
You Don’t Own Other People
"A sizable share of people in the criminal justice system is made up of those who ran afoul of some law commanding 'Touch not, taste not, handle not.' If you support such laws, there is no ground on which you can consistently do so without believing that other people are your property, or are your inferiors and subject to your command."

Sperry & Hutchison Co., C.A.Tex., 522 F.2d 1299, 1307 ~ Ibid., page 486
"But, but, but...I didn't know that I was submitting myself to the dominion of a government for...protection."
Well, you do now, you now know the "root" of the problem, CITIZEN, so what will change? How will you strike the root?
"Like any other association, a government exists for the ends of its members, and has no authority over anyone outside it." ~ Kevin Carson

″Having heard all this, you may choose to look the other way…but you can never say again that you didn’t know.″ ~ William Wilberforce 1759-1833
“The legitimate powers [authority] an individual possesses — the right to life, liberty and property, and the consequent power [authority] to defend those rights without harm to innocents — can be exercised cooperatively by any number of individuals in concert.” ~ Kevin Carson
They can legitimately defend those natural rights, singly or cooperatively, because, “the loss of natural rights is death”, and all rational individuals realize it.
Must read! "The foregoing will enrage the whole sodden bolus of therapists, psychological beard-scratchers, counselors, feminists, fruit-juice drinkers, and congenitally insecure promoters of sun block. But it worked." http://tinyurl.com/33q4ro3
