Wisdom from Dale Ahlquist

We often give up our freedom because freedom means doing things for ourselves, which is a great bother. We stop working for ourselves and work for someone else who will take care of us. We stop ruling ourselves because it is easier and even safer to have someone else rule us. We stop thinking for ourselves because we find it simpler to have someone else think for us. Then we wake up one morning and find that we are slaves to institutions that are far out of our control.
