The Trouble With Liberty

Lock-step agreement is most effectively achieved by tyranny.

Or, perhaps better stated: 

Disagreement is an unavoidable by-product of freedom.

Spot on, P.S. You'd think what you wrote wouldn't be controversial... that is, if you went to bed in the 1980's and woke up today... But now, more than 1/2 the people under 30 would serve your head to you on a platter -- not to mention Bernie Sanders. (He over 30 yet?! lol). Keep telling the truth!! Freedom and Strength, Gershon
