Ma'am; ....Whether you are the kid being stripped or not; the essential lesson is hard to miss... No one has any rights... The government, which should exist to protect all rights instead claims all rights, and endangers all rights for everyone... They have no problem protecting property rights... They will jump through their backsides to keep capital from ruin, even when there is nothing about that in the constitution... Then they will collect the money from people who have nothing in the way of a product to show for it... So we are made poorer to keep capital afloat...Come to think of it... Maybe the authorities should just strip us all, and leave it go at that... I swear to God we would be better off... With such friends as the government we should envy the dead... At least their troubles are over...Thanks...Sweeney
