Lots of other countries have much bigger issues than taxes as far a freedom goes. I think relatively speaking we have it pretty good in the USA. For instance, in some countries you might be hunted down and jailed or harassed by government-backed cronies for badmouthing your own government. Sometimes we don't know how good we really have it until it's gone. I'm more than happy to pay taxes to support a police-and-military-backed government that supports human and animal rights much better than most countries, in fact I'm proud to. It may be far from perfect, but it could be far worse.
How much worse does it have to get before you stop licking boot?
Aww, I luv u2 as well.
Taoteh.. I am close to gouging out my eyes now.... Talk about missing the entire point of the essay..
Aww, I love u2.
You're happy to pay. I'm not. You can speak and act for yourself. I'll do the same for me. This is how civilized people live without being at each others throats.
Agreed, nice to see somebody civilized with an opposing viewpoint. Thanks very much for your perspective. I was not trying to stir the pot.
Relatively speaking we can conclude that a little bit of tyranny is ok because other countries have more tyranny, and I'm happy to lick boot because the perceived human and animal rights is much better than most countries, in fact SO i am smitten to do so, it might not be the perfect tyranny and individual rights mix, but it could be far worse.

It could be so bad that you need to actually have a conversation and resolve problems without an ULTIMATE AUTHORITY.

If I thought it would be a polite conversation I would. Maybe that's half the problem. I didn't comment here to get shit all over, sorry. Was just saying how things are far worse other places and I think idealism has to be married to reality to accomplish anything productive in this world.
Nicely put.
