gist of the matter
by J.D. Longstreet:
America is now an oligarchy. Our government is run by a small group of very powerful people. Where did they get that power? We, you and I, gave it to them.
America';s Founding Fathers were fearful that this day would eventually come. Ben Franklin, upon being asked by a female by-stander what kind of government they had given us, is said to have replied: "A republic, Madam -- if you can keep it!"
Well, the plain truth is -- we DIDN'T keep it!
Freedom requires eternal vigilance. You have heard that phrase time and time again -- and it is very true. Once freedom is gained it is hard work to maintain it. Apparently, it is work only a few citizens are willing to undertake.

"Свобода сейчас в Америке нелегальна", - мрачно вещает Лонгстрит. Но свобода уже нелегальна практически везде. Разве она легальна на территории бывшей Российской империи с конца 1917 года?
