"I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."

Characters: Professor Bernardo de la Paz is an intellectual and life-long subversive shipped to Luna from Lima, Peru. He describes himself as a "Rational Anarchist", believing that governments and institutions exist only as the actions of aware individuals.

So we have an origin story of sorts for our dear Poalr professor. [tips hat]

Heinlein did have a pulse on the nature of the world and its affairs. We could use a Robert Heinlein today. Perhaps there is one like him out there, waiting, yearning to be listened to.

I have not personally dug deeply into who Heinlein really is and what he really stood for so perhaps the label is accurate. I don't cling to any heroes because they all prove to have some terrible flaw in them. I believe only in God, Jesus Christ and my own capabilities when times are hard. I don't expect to stand much of a chance, but I will try to take as many down with me as possible when push comes to shove.

‘We’ might. Roughly 300 million won’t.

You'd be surprised what can happen once a few 'we' break the static inertia. One need only look at how people's sentiment toward the UHC guy getting goodified became more vocal. The fear will subside once a few wins are under our belt. History has changed many times from small events that erupted like wildfire once the friction was overcome. It will happen again. They fear that.

Hitler wrote something to that effect. I paraphrase: "If your government has failed you, why support it? Why break your back for something that gives you no benefit? Just because it has always existed? Dogmatism will get you nowhere. If government as a whole doesn't work, it must be done away with for the good of the community."
