Tyranny is defined as something that the government can do that is illegal for the normal citizen. It is not just a nice idea.

There is no reason that you have to pay that much for fuel. I hate it at $3.5/gal.

I work in a medical practice. Every day we see most of our patients who don't pay anything for their health care, welfare, that is upon the back of you and me. Last week I had one tell me that they were going on vacation in Australia next year. WTF. Most of them drive more expensive and newer vehicles than I do, many of them hare SuVs. Most of them do not work or are looking for work. They are happy to live on the fringe. No education, no aspirations.

I am older than most on this forum...I was once young and an idealist. I didn't understand that so many were just happy to get paid for not working.
