absolutely - in any which way:
To be governed is to be, at every operation and at every transaction,
taxed, stamped, registered, numbered, counted, noted, measured, assessed,
authorized, licensed, admonished, prevented, forbidden, corrected, reformed,
punished.
It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general
interest, to be placed under contribution, fleeced, drilled, extorted from,
exploited, monopolized, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed;
then, at slightest resistance and first word of complaint, to be sacrificed,
betrayed, harassed, repressed, disarmed, hunted down, clubbed, abused,
fined, sold, and, to crown it all, to be outraged, ridiculed, mocked,
derided, dishonored. THAT is government; that is its justice, that's its
morality.'' (p-j p)
the struggle continues....
