A free man can defend threats to his life with equal force.
More than this. A free man can defend threats to his family, or to strangers. A free man can defend his property from theft of destruction. But are we that free? If someone tries to burn down your house, and you shoot him, what happens? We should be free to shoot any fucker who tries to assault us, or steal from us, or destroy our property. Shoplifters should be shot on sight, in my humble opinion. It would reduce the amount of shoplifting damned quickly.
Every American, who pays for taxes against their will by threat of violence, is a debt serf.
Those overwhelming majority, whose parents sell them into Social Security and turn them into a United States Corporation Citizen, are deftly maintained on a very short leash.
Very few are Free Men. Very little stops the majority from deciding to become one of them.
