In almost everything I've read, I've not seen anyone reduce it to its essential characteristics. The older I get, the more amusing I find it to see people arguing so vehemently about a concept whose nature is rooted in the dark unplumbed, unexamined, and unquestioned depths of their subconscious minds.Montecristohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17915071769569425339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-37011931202304295872017-08-13T10:26:03.297-07:002017-08-13T10:26:03.297-07:00Your friend is, no doubt, correct.

If you spent six months someplace that was just tyranny, you’d know the difference very, very rapidly."<br /><br />I have a close friend who works as a consultant on oil rigs all over the world. In addition to being a intelligent and funny individual (with an amazing tolerance for alcohol), he also has first hand experience with LOTS of different governments. Whenever our drinking subject turns to the tyranny of governments, he always ends up laughing at my discontent, and tells me I live in a very sheltered world.

Our king will judge us and lead us into battle.”<br /><br />21 So Samuel repeated to the Lord what the people had said, 22 and the Lord replied, “Do as they say, and give them a king.” Then Samuel agreed and sent the people home.JaimeInTexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729407700850451849noreply@blogger.com
