""""When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.""" This, one is 100% true and people must face the Goverment for Liberty over tyranny! If you allow them to take over then they will take over if you fight that then freedom will be a great thing!
Thomas Jefferson
The only thing that I am doing is trying to help you I choose Liberty over slavery. Give me freedom or give me death! Like, most people would say. Freedom, is a great thing and if you allow evil to take over they will take over. The only thing you have to do is be in love to fight over fear and evil for what you love, freedom, happyness, friendship. That, is why we all must stand togther to fight evil if the good men do nothing the evil will try to take over everything. I am saying is true and I trust and honor Thomas Jefferson for being a great guy and helping the people's freedom's back then!
