Good Morning Ribit!
You ought to hie thee hither over to the local library and get yourself a copy of "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill.
You might learn something about Liberty and the role of government.
It's a very short book and I am sure it will not exceed your attention span, and it is written in simple English.
I warn you it has no pictures.
Don't worry about offending me.
The unintelligible babbling of unlettered men dandling guns in their living rooms doesn't offend me at all.
I am enthralled by your lucidity and ability to maintain a cogent discussion.
The guns of course slathered about your home denote apparently some phallic substitution problem old men are known for.
Your politics are not novel to me.
I have witnessd ignorant people threatening to take arms against a sea of troubles that exist only in their own minds.
Start with "On Liberty". You might figure out what a free man is.
