We are free from government, at least in the USA. The thing we are not free from is our own stupidity. To see it, first consider what government is... people using paperwork, because they couldn't remember it all if it wasn't written down. Government is not people. It's government paperwork being used by 'government people'. And it is government people lying about their using of government paperwork. The first thing to remember is that government is made up of people using paperwork. So, it is people that you need to consider when talking to them, not government. It is wrong for government people to harm you through their usage of government paperwork. It is also wrong for you to harm anyone else. If government tries to harm you, the government people are wrongdoers unless you did harm to another, first. Attack or defend based on wrongdoing, not paperwork.
