regulate your face
And the second beast required all people
small and great,
rich and poor,
free and slave,
to receive a mark...
so that no one could buy or sell
unless they had it.
Revelation 13
The past shows unvaryingly that when a people's freedom disappears it goes not with a bang but in silence, amid the comfort of being cared for. That is the dire peril in the present trend toward statism. If freedom is not found accompanied by a willingness to resist... it will not long be found at all.
Richard M. Weaver (1962)
