Years ago I encountered a wise quote: "The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are

Smurfo mushrooms
Greetings, friends Friday! The first Friday of autumn. To do this, I took a special walk in search of unusual mushrooms. And it seems to me that I have succeeded. But... I will be consistent in my story.

Mencken #20 - All Government Is Against Liberty
...and if you think otherwise you haven't been paying attention. The government definitely does not want you to be free and making decisions for yourself. That would be a threat to their very existence.
