very interesting post giantbear, lots of interesting points raised for those new to the concept of freedom. I'd just like to add a couple of points for anyone reading and those are that the word government can be translated as 'control of the mind' and also that the society we live in today is not our society at all but rather that of the law society. Any act of parliament (uk) or act of congress (US) is only given 'the force of law' by the 'consent' of the 'governed'. That is to say that an act of parliament/ congress only applies to you if you agree that it does.
thanks for posting
