Reader comments about this quote:

Okay, pin-pricks come in many shades and colors. Anything that is an assault on the being (minute to life threatening) may be interpreted as a pin-prick. The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land, with it compelled compliance, government licensing, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, funny money, police state confiscations, etc.), non-recognition of individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty at nature's law are all pin-pricks. Socialism's degrees of ant farm utopia enactments gradations of slavery. When and what pin-pricks are greater than a being can stand (individually and / or in concert)?
