I tend to agree, even if somehow in a clueless way. You have the chance to have
something we don't have: a constitution with several Liberty-protection
amendments. Not that the Tyran respects them a lot, but at least, the Tyran
could be slowed down and bashed in the teeths occasionnally.
Here in our Komradship of Kanada, we have zilch. The Tyran have a field day, a
field week, a field month and a field eternity!
Keep kicking butts...

"The only power any government has is to crack down on crime and
criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, then one
makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes
impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation
of law-abiding citizens. What's there in that for anyone. But just
pass the kinds of law that can neither be observed nor enforced nor
objectively interpreted and you create a nation of lawbreakers
- and then you can cash in on their guilt."
