135. Tyrany or Liberty
While the stated futility and stupidity of any American citizen (or anyone else, for that matter) considering themselves capable of militarily going up against the United States government is a given, it is essential that we all keep in mind the wise words of Thomas Jefferson: "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." Perhaps those who have gone off course and feel otherwise are in need of an attitude adjustment.
