As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Freedom Is A State Of Mind,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Authority": an illusion of a diseased psyche, based entirely in violence and built upon the erroneous and dogmatic belief that some people are Masters who have the moral right to issue commands, and others are Slaves who have a moral obligation to obey the Masters.

My Commentary: “The real division is … between authoritarians and libertarians.” – George Orwell

There are those who love force and control, and there are those who love consent and cooperation. By their fruit will you truly know the difference. 😉 And, rest assured that the chaff will be separated from the wheat!

“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.” – Theodore Roosevelt, Kansas City Star, May 7th, 1918

My Commentary: That which we call a war criminal, by any other name, would be as guilty…
