Questions to be answered not by sheeple.

Questions to be answered not by sheeple. Why a new “Freedom Party of America” who insists on uniform views? Why exchange green paper for silver? Why should Sherry’s Berries give away berries (deemed too small to sell) to the homeless shelters? Why are elections ‘rigged’? “With a disposition to invade the essential rights of the community, and with the means of gratifying that disposition, it is presumable that the persons who were actuated by it would amuse themselves in the ridiculous task of fabricating election laws for securing a preference to a favourite class of men? Would they not be likely to prefer a conduct better adapted to THEIR own immediate aggrandizement? Would they not rather boldly resolve to perpetuate THEMSELVES in office by one decisive act of usurpation, that to trust to precarious expedients which, in spite of all precaution that might accompany them, might terminate in the dismission, disgrace, and ruin of their authors? Would they not fear that citizens not less tenacious than conscious of their rights, would flock from the remote extremes of their respective States to the places of election, to overthrow their tyrants, and to substitute men (or women today) who would be disposed to avenge the violated majesty of the people? Translation for a reader of the above Hamilton in #60 Federalist. Give a politician an inch and he/she will take a mile out of your walk to freedom when people become apathetic sheeple who don’t vote.
