"Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose" Janis Joplin

Of course we are a constitutional republic and have never been a democracy. Representatives may be selected by popular vote but money has such a distorting influence I would not say we are free either.

But this thread is for quotes and not personal complaints.
