We are governed with consent by elected officials. That's a pretty far cry from slavery. There is no similarity [i]whatsoever[/i] between stripping an expansive federal legislature of its excess powers and the systematic physical, psychological, and sexual abuse of a minority group. None. The very suggestion is absurd. We are not subjugated, we are not repressed, we are not tyrannized -- we are simply stupid enough to keep voting for these morons. The solution is simple. Stop. Just stop. That's it.
