I love you Dirk.  Welcome home.

Any time YOUR freedoms infringe on MY freedoms, they aren't your freedoms any more.

Good luck with that in the real world, the cattle herd together for a reason.  Not saying you should be one of the cattle, but you damn sure better understand what happens when they stampede.

Love the concept and very much understand why it doesn't work; but I gave up on the land of make believe a long, long time ago.

For the longest time the church taught the people that governments were necessary and that the the kings were chosen by god to rule.  Mysticism began to fail so they had to come up with other ways to legitimize themselves.The latest technique is to falsely convince people that they rule themselves through democracy.  The clergy no longer have a major role in politics so now they use the mainstream media as their mouthpiece to create crisis after crisis for them to fix for us.  It's divisive as hell, if it's not the Mexicans coming to get us it's some new super bug, if it's not international terrorism is domestic terrorism.  If you watch MSNBC the conservatives are trying to rule your life, if you watch FOX News the Democrats are after you.  Everyone is so fucking scared of all the evil people and uncertainty of life they fail to notice that the politicians are doing far more to harm us than any of these crisises they've created ever could.  What we have now that we've never had before is the internet.  Imagine how difficult it would be to learn about alternative ways of doing things from the television, school or public library just twenty years ago.  People no longer have to depend on the church and the media to tell them how they should think to be a good citizen.  Why I'm defending anarchism is beyond me when it's obvious that statism has completely failed.  They've left a string of hundreds of millions of people dead in the last century, destroyed our monetary system with fake money printed out of thin air, created generations of people stuck on welfare with no way out, heavily divided the population against one another.  I can't defend them.

Faster horses, and more money definitely.  Younger women are nice to look at but I like them closer to my age.  Looking seems to be what's going on in the second song.  Older whiskey, maybe.  When are you running for Emperor on the faster horses, more money, younger women, older whiskey ticket?  You'll probably get a good size chunk of the vote.
