While the freedom Americans seized has not lasted unadulterated down to us today, I must disagree that we have always been beholden to the Crown. For a time, there was no Constitution, not even Articles of Confederation, and the Declaration of Independence was not only the highest law of the land, it was the only law of the land, as there was no other interstate compact in place.

While we can find much to decry in our present state of legal affairs, lies, fraud, and oppression simply have no legal standing, and just courts - were such ever to exist - properly applied would set that straight. More importantly, in actual fact we are free, and such obeisance demanded by the Crown is only undertaken at our sole option. They can kill you, but they cannot make your decisions for you.

Decentralization burgeons, and I celebrate both the freedom we proved we have when Americans defeated the greatest military force in the world, and that we will have when the power of institutions has lapsed due to the end of the flow of parasitized resources to vampires; overlords posing as public servants.
