"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."

That’s prob true.

I’m not convinced that taking a beating on taxes while quietly building real families and churches is "cowardice." It looks a lot more like surviving a siege. Real strength isn't throwing tantrums online about tax resistance while paying your taxes anyway.

I just don’t want to blame the victim …whether they choose to resist, be quiet, etc is their prerogative. I’m totally in support of encouraging resistance though, like you are. Thank you for that! I think you’ll like my favorite quote I’ll put below. …Anyone voluntarily joining the ga...

Taxes are taken under threat of the sword. A vote is given voluntarily. Conscience and moral consent remain unbowed.

If you must vote for someone, flip a coin. Chances are, we'll get a better government.

I feel like the government had the decency to come up with convincing bullshit back then. Was it still bullshit? Of course, but the government doesn't even try to fool us anymore. They're like, where just going to do what we want to do with the military industrial complex. We don't need to convinc...

It is dangerous, but better than the farm animal lifestyle that pervades the majority of people.
