Just what side to you think I am on.  I am on the side of the oppressed and their right to live in liberty, despite their government's failure to secure it for them. I am not sure what "side" that puts me on, but I'm proud to be on it. I have never been on any side that tolerates oppression. In fact I am proud to think for myself and not blindly follow the whims of either of our major political parties. I am certainly not a supporter of the current dingbat in the white house if that's what you thought.

I must have caught my mental illness from Thomas Jefferson who wrote, "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."  I merely paraphrased (or plagiarized) his position. Perhaps I'm not the most original thinker, but that certainly does not add up to mental illness.
