    "...The motorist may not proceed, may not turn left or right, and, most interestingly, in the second sign from the bottom, may not reverse out. In essence, “You’re stuck here and whatever you do to get out, you’re in violation of the rules we’ve placed upon you.”

    The key to governmental domination is that we tend to tolerate the loss of liberty if it’s taken away slowly.

    As Thomas Jefferson said,

    “Even under the best forms of Government, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”

    Liberty and governmental control are polar opposites.

    Here are two good working definitions of liberty, courtesy of the dictionary:

    “The power or scope to act as one pleases.”

    “The state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views.”

    Tragic, how far we've fallen.
