I originally posted the following “variation on a meme” that I created onto my Facebook wall…
“Yo, Dawg! We heard that you don’t like the tyranny of the majority over minority groups… So, we legitimized the authority of an ultra-minority through a voting majority, so they can tyrannically rule over everybody, accordingly, while you formally select the next elect minority of tyranny to fully control your humanity, in perpetuity!”
(Artwork by Rayn, and originally located here)
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “End Human Suffrage,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“What does the cat say? Meow. Good. And, the dog? Woof. What does the sheep say?
My Commentary: Baaa!
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Policing the Police,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family, after they posted artwork being shared the page, “Libertarian Party“…
Genaire:
“Libertarian. The radical notion that you are not the property of anyone else, including the government.” – Tony Baize (All individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.)
(Learn more about the LP and its values of Liberty at lp.or/platform)
Rayn: What a elitist and extremist viewpoint! Do you really believe that you can run your life better than a small, elect group of morally-bankrupt plutocrats? Just who do you think you are?

Stephen K.: 90% of the US Congress are millionaires.
