Government: From Servant to Master

Although we give lip service to the notion of freedom, we know the government is no longer the servant of the people but, at last, has become the people's master. We have stood by like timid sheep while the wolf killed--first the weak, then the strays, then those on the outer edges of the flock, until at last the entire flock belonged to the wolf.

Gerry Spence, From Freedom to Slavery, 1993. Mr. Spence was a defense attorney and free speech advocate. Today, free speech advocates are rare. Speech is now controlled by big tech, the media, academia and a massive government bureaucracy that keeps track what we do and say.
