The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of the now-closed Waltz-Astoria owner, Pedro Gonzalez…

Pedro Gonzalez: Let’s see him try that on someone his own age. We call people like him a coward!!

Brian M.: This is crazy.

Brian M.: He,should have followed him and called the cops. They will easily catch this man if this guy reported that. That slippery piece of trash doesn’t go far.

Rayn: He was busted, at least…

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

“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.
It 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.
It is, under pretext of ‘public utility,’ and in the name of ‘the general interest,’ to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, ROBBED:
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.
And to crown it all, it is to then be mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored.
THAT IS GOVERNMENT; THAT IS ITS JUSTICE; THAT IS ITS MORALITY.”

My Commentary: I’ve shared this quote previously, but this time, I’ll note that these words might appear to be recent, but they were actually written by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1851!

As you can see, Truth transcends time!

(note: though I previously shared a shorter version of this quote in February of 2013, within my post, “To Be Governed…,” I still felt compelled to offer up an alternative commentary when I saw it again, due to the inspiring nature of these words)

Rayn:

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…
