I'd like to bite some legislators, but I wouldn't want to get rabies. hahaha

    It is an okay quote, but I don't think an orator like Marcus Tullius Cicero would actually say.

    Could be. In an atmosphere of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land, freedom has been suppressed. How many in that suppressed condition even have any inkling what freedom is? How many would gain their freedom by willingly setting up a republican form of government where representatives represent the law of nature and of nature's God instead of corporeal man, - where compelled compliance, victimless crimes, government licenses, larceny with immunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, debt / funny money, government confiscations, etc.) do not exist? How many would choose to personal sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty and perfected allodium at nature's law?

    "all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." (Declaration of Independence) The here posed expression of freedom is currently playing out the events in Iran — thus, the rating with stars.

    Americans have yet to awaken to their lost freedoms — yet.  But if and when they do, and roll back all that holds their servitude in place, it will be a lot harder to reimpose the cunning tricks politicians use for wheedling power from the people.

    Let's look to Iran (and Venezuela, Cuba), and see if the people will regain their freedom, or merely exchange one tyranny for another...
