Tyranny May Creep In Under The Outward

The Most Successful Revolutions Aren't Those That Are Celebrated With Parades And Banners, Drums And Trumpets, Cannons And Fireworks. The Really Successful Revolutions Are Those That Occur Quietly, Unnoticed, Uncommemorated. We Don't Celebrate The Day The United States Constitution Was Destroyed; It Didn't Happen On A Specific Date, And Most Americans Still Don't Realize It Happened At All. We Don't Say The Constitution Has Ceased To Exist; We Merely Say That It's A 'living Document.' But It Amounts To The Same Thing.

We Have Been Living Amidst One Of The Great Revolutions Of Human History, And We Hardly Know It: The Penetration Of The State Into Every Aspect Of Human Life And Society. Some People Regard This As Good And "progressive," Others Regard It As Tyrannical; But Either Way, It's A Fact, A Transformation As Great As, Say, The Industrial Revolution. Absolutely Nothing Is Now Beyond The Scope Of State Power.

People Who Create Things Nowadays Can Expect To Be Prosecuted By Highly Moralistic People Who Are Incapable Of Creating Anything. There Is No Way To Measure The Chilling Effect On Innovation That Results From The Threats Of Taxation, Regulation And Prosecution Against Anything That Succeeds. We'll Never Know How Many Ideas Our Government Has Aborted In The Name Protecting Us.

If One Person In America Had Starved Over The Last 20 Years, You, Reader, Would Know His Name. The Media Would See To That. It Would Be The Most Thoroughly Documented Death Since John Kennedy's.

Liberals See The Constitution Itself As 'living' And 'evolving' That Is, Gradually Turning Into Something That Would Have Been Unrecognizable To Its Authors.
