Kim duToit got me thinking about a guy I did some research on in school.

"To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, asssesed, licensed, authrised, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the public interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolised, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harrassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality."

Now this might sound like Tom Paine, Jefferson, or even Lincoln. Wrong! Written back in the 19th century by an anarchist/socialist named Pierre-Joseph Proudhon who is most famous for the slogan "all property is theft". He is now the darling of the anarchist "movement". He was one of the prime movers of the 1848 revolt in France. I think I got a fucking C- on my paper from the Commie professor who said that Marx wrote papers that destroyed Proudhon and he had no validity. Vive le Communiste.....
