"Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it." -John Adams
Welcome to Patriot's Lament. We strive here to educate ourselves on Liberty. We will not worry ourselves so much with the daily antics of American politics, and drown ourselves in the murky waters of the political right or left. Instead, we will look to the Intellectuals and Champions of Liberty, and draw on their wisdom of what it is to be a truly free people. We will learn from where our Providential Liberties are derived, and put the proper perspective of a Free Individual and the State. Please join us!

Since this dynamic is unavoidable, because the government is a monopoly with the ability to determine what its "customers" are forced to pay and what its own powers are because it arbitrates all disputes including those involving itself, why give birth to such a monstrosity in the first place? It is like giving yourself pancreatic cancer to solve a weight loss problem. The cancer won't kill you immediately, and you will lose weight.
