To Be Governed...


“To be GOVERNED" is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. 

To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. 

That is government; 
that is its justice; 
that is its morality.

**Age of Hypocrisy**: The Real War on Women

Image
Written By: ~X~ of TFD The "War on Women" is a phrase that has been slung around and misused inaccurately as much as the " W ar on Drugs". Both of these "wars" have been (in my opinion) been blow n out of proportion, misrepresented , misunderstood and abused to the fullest by pundits, journalist, wanna-be reporters and colum nist, depending on what side of the isle they are on. Let me explain.... This "war" has gone to far and if it is not put int o perspective , we can loose a lot more th an a few seats in the House. First, women HAVE been through a lot throughout history . We here HONOR women , you can make life.

 Dear Brothers & Sisters    Written By: Puck Arks of TFD M y dear brothers and sisters—yes, we are all brothers and sisters, I have love in my heart for all people, while we may disagree, but even more so may we agree that some people cross the line, more often than not, or even rarely because in truth we all do it. M y friends, Collectively speaking, conflict is not necessarily bad or destructive.  E ven when conflict causes a great deal of stress or fr frustration we must remember why we are here. S ometimes we disturb the peace by trying to defend ourselves or prove a point. I t helps to remember that someone else's perception has no real power over who we are, so there is no actual threat. W hen others hold strong opinions, you still can hold your own without disturbing the balance. W e need to seek common ground rather than notice our differences. See things from another perspective so that you can understand that person within...
