Reader comments about this quote:

If only people actually thought like this today. -- BlackSpy 1
Freedom is for all to enjoy. The problem is, slavery simply mutates and becomes so sophisticated and robs many of their freedom. Many do not even realise they slaves. -- Ema, London 2
Ema, Said well. Congress legislating We The People's rights and liberty(s) away while exempting themselves is a quick and simple illustration of a master / slave relationship. Carnal gods legislating compelled compliance, government licensing, victimless illegalities, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, Social Security, police state confiscations, non-recognition of perfected allodium / absolute ownership, etc.) and non-acceptance of individual sovereignty's inalienable rights and liberty are another example of a master / slave relationship. I would have rated the quote with 5 stars BUT, in context — nothing is shown to correlate "compensation" with slavery. -- Mike, Norwalk
Servitude remains the #1 racket in the world. -- E Archer, NYC 1
I do not desire a slave, and I don't want to be a slave. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
