I said "why should" not "why can?" All this suggests is that
you believe in "might makes right." And while the majority may
be able to impose it's will, that certainly does not mean the
minority must accept it as just, fair or good.

Actually I *do* have my way. I *am* a sovereign individual, whether
you or anybody else likes it or not. And yes, as it currently stands,
there is sufficient force allied with a different system to subjugate
me. That doesn't mean I should stop trying to encourage people to my
way of thinking so that we can achieve true Freedom though.

> 2. You'd still be paying a local warlord

That's an assertion I hear a lot, but I haven't seen
any proof that that is a necessary outcome of having
true freedom.

Oh I am "used to it." I've lived in it for 34 years. :-)
But I think what you probably really meant was "get used to
it and accept it." And accept it is something I will never do.


TTYL,
