Someone once said "You only get the rights you are willing to fight and die for", and as uncomfortable as that idea is to everyone who wants to live "free and peacefully", there is a great amount of truth to it. Most of us aren't as "truly free" as we should be, but we are "close enough" that we aren't ready to bet all the marbles just yet.
The government forcibly extorts money from me in the form of property taxes to educate the children of people who have no business being parents in my opinion. Money is used to fund law enforcement to enforce laws I view as unconstitutional and to perpetuate a legal system that is probably fatally flawed. I am fined every year for not having health insurance but it is still cheaper to pay the fines and my out of pocket medical expenses than it is to purchase health insurance.
Ironically if the government would stop fleecing me to fund all the services I don't use or don't even qualify for, I could afford health insurance.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
