‘…I’m moving away from fearing that the country might crash and toward hoping that it will. As matters stand, Americans have no rights. As Ayn Rand once put it, governments and their agents are free to do whatever they please, to whomever they please, with little or no explanation, while individuals must beg permission for anything and everything. That’s tyranny, plain and simple. It might not have blossomed to its fullest quite yet — we still have some de facto freedom, if only because the State’s enforcement power isn’t infinite — but the principles are in place and outrider actions such as the May 5 murder of Jose Guerena make it plain that our masters mean to be masters indeed.
If the current system should come apart under the weight of its excesses, the survivors might resurrect some sense for freedom, for the rights of the individual, and for the administration of justice under Constitutional constraint. There’s more chance of that than of restoring the Republic from its current degenerated condition.
Pardon the vulgarity, but I’m way, way too old for this shit…’ (bold mine kg)
