To Be Governed…

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “V is for Voluntary“…

Rayn:

“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, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished… then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, villified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed;” – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Keith M.: he’s cute with words i like his style playful yet to the point.

Rayn: Indeed! He’s definitely got a way with words! 🙂

Adam G.: Ah, Proudhon…

Dreaming of Justice…

The following correspondence originally took place here, upon the Facebook page, “Truth Beckons“…

(replies from all third parties have been omitted for clarity)

Truth Beckons:

“I Have a Dream, Too!”

Rayn: Add Nancy “Crow-Face” Pelosi to the list, as well as Karl Rove!

 

Discussing the Interdependent Relationship of Peace, Freedom, Truth and Justice

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Peace, Freedom, Truth and Justice are Completely Interdependent“…

Rayn: “You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” – Malcolm X

Likewise, you cannot separate truth and justice from this equation, either, as they are ALL entirely dependent upon each other!

“You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” – Malcolm X

James J.: those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither

 

Peace, Freedom, Truth and Justice are Completely Interdependent

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Truth Beckons,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom." - Malcolm X

“You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” – Malcolm X

My Commentary: “You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” – Malcolm X

Likewise, you cannot separate truth and justice from this equation, either, as they are ALL entirely dependent upon each other!
