As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “-GET Involved! You Live Here-,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"It's amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government give poor people money is compassion. Helping poor and suffering people yourself is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness. People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered. If we're compassionate, we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint." - Penn Jillette

My Commentary: Wake up to the illegitimacy of coercion!

The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Why Ask Criminals for Permission to Live Peacefully?“…

Rayn: Why ask criminals for permission to live peacefully?

"If the State gets their authority from the people, then why do we ask the for permission?"

“If the State gets their authority from the people, then why do we ask the for permission?”

Daniel F.: Because too many people seem to have forgotten that fact, and keep voting for the same crooks over and over again. Big money has so infected the system that even those who actually start out with honest intentions have to bend over to appease the corporate big money overlords if they want to have any chance of getting elected and then remaining in office.

That is why the Occupy movement is so vilified – because they know who the real enemy is, and unlike the Tea Party the self-appointed powers-that-be aren’t going to be able to turn them into a seething ball of hate against anything they can get them to perceive as “anti-American” while making sure that their attention is never turned toward the actual enemy – the corporate fatcats and Wall Street banksters.

Rayn: Hmmm… Who did you vote for in America’s 2012 presidential elections, Daniel?

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

"Rights are not gifts from government."

“Rights are not gifts from government.”

My Commentary: Wake up to the amazing, liberating Truth that Self-Ownership is our BIRTHRIGHT! Yet, one cannot secure such a unique and sacred possession without first acknowledging every other Individual on Earth to hold their very own, as well! And, THIS is the ultimate PROOF of understanding!
