Reader comments about this quote:
For those who have eyes to see and, ears to hear, the shackles of the despot masters are known. The at mind and heart helots, serfs, and slaves, clamoring for bread and circus, are fettered fast to scraps from their master's table (from pauper to corporate CEO).

    Freedom is relative to one's needs and one's ability to provide for those needs. We are born dependent upon our parents until we are able to provide for ourselves. I have always looked forward to growing up and living my own life -- perhaps one day the world will let me. ;-)

    I KNOW that the sole function of Lincoln's unconstitutional legal tender acts was/is to take labor and property without payment and his contemporary, Horace Greeley said Lincoln's money system was "no less cruel than the old system of chatle slavery." With credit existing only in minds, the Federal Reserve said their sustem "works (us) only with credit, they must control most minds to work all of us only with credit." Don't you and most others believe falsely that government spends money when no branch of government spends a dime or pays anyone for anything? We have perpetual warfare because soldiers and suppliers pretend they are paid with paper. Hosea 4:6 www.morpix.biz/x4
