Quote:Because you have it absolutely backward. If you want liberty then there's a price to be paid for that liberty, and it's keeping up a good and just government of the people by the people and for the people.

 

The kind of liberty that you're asking for can be had in Somalia right now. It's the kind of liberty that consists of only whatever you can manage to protect on your own.

 

The kind of liberty you currently enjoy is thanks to the efforts of people you spit on, people fighting to try to maintain a nation that protects the essential rights of even distrusting misanthropes.

 

Or you can pay the price for government control in Cuba.  You and everyone except the elite will receive your food rations.  You can get as far in life as your government will allow for its own best interests.  You can enjoy all of your authoritarian governance along with fellow neutered indoctrinated mass who believe it is you who owe the government something for being alive in their country.
