So-Called "Places Where You Can Live Free In This World"

Land of the Free? Not When the Government Can Indiscriminately Kill US Citizens

===========

I recently read and commented on this article, which discusses the US Govnerment's proposed law to make extrajudicial killings of Americans illegal.

Last Friday, US Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced HR 6357, a bill which aims to ‘prohibit the extrajudicial killing of United States citizens’ by the federal government. In other words, in the Land of the Free, they need to pass a law to prevent the government from indiscriminately murdering its own citizens.
Now if this doesn’t give one reason to pause and consider the distortions of liberty that have taken place in western civilization, I don’t know what will. Think about it:

Does a free society send government hit men to eliminate anyone they perceive to be an enemy of the state?

Does a free society have hundreds of police agencies, each with the authority to deprive a man of his life, liberty and property in their sole discretion?

The article makes a bunch of very good points.

It also makes me very angry. Not at the government, or the tyranny, but at the implication of the article.

I am not happy by the article's implication, that is, one should leave the US to be "truly free".

I see a lot of this talk, more often than not from "financial advice" types. Do not fool yourself. There are many wretched souls out there who think liberty = ability to make more money, and vice versa.

I won't re-post the comment I left; you can read it at the linked article if you like.

He said, later on in the piece:

"You’ll find that there are places where you can live free in this world."

WHAT ABOUT THE GROUND UNDER YOUR TWO FEET?
