First Principles: Government Is Not Reason; It Is Not Eloquent; It Is Force. Like Fire, It Is A Dangerous Servant and A Fearful Master

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Experience has taught us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession, and when the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington
