I think this quote is an inspirational aspiration! No other man then Millard Fillmore can feel my soul with the wisdom and almost sinful quality of understanding the human persona..... ah...... great man .... beautiful bold man..... and oh so round.

    Yes; while in a broader sense, off the top of my head, I can't think of a time freedom was brought about by revolution. A fight to throw off oppressors is far different than fighting for freedom. After all, how many under the influence of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land can accurately describe individual sovereignty, inalienable rights or freedom and liberty at the laws of nature and of nature's God, let alone how to administer such? If freedom is unknown to the revolutionaries, how will the revolution bring about freedom?

    Revolutionary advances always make us more aware so they always make us less confined and therefore definitely more free.

    Revolutions can change the world, but true freedom often comes from within. It reminds me of how balance is crucial in games like Snow Rider 3D, just as it is vital for a society to thrive. Our institutions and values often predate conflicts, shaping the path to genuine liberty and stability.
