""government" is ... a gang of thugs..."
True facts.
"...hope that one day, those poor voters who are trudging off to that booth to pull that lever will realize that all they are really doing is voting for which slavemaster they will allow to put the chains around their neck."
While we certainly can hope that others become rational, it is not germaine to our own conduct of our affairs. We simply don't have the authority to order them to be rational, and therefore aren't responsible for their actions.
We are responsible for our actions, and have complete authority over them. That's really all we have: authority over ourselves.
