"There are only a few laws in history that are universally applicable. One of these is that the ruling classes do not want the peasantry armed. They will do what they can to convince you that to be armed is dangerous. They will attempt to do this while they themselves are surrounded by armed body guards. Idiots will not notice this hypocrisy and sycophants will ignore it. Fools will surrender their arms in the name of "safety". They will insensibly surrender their liberty at the same time. This is how slaves are made.

Love it. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

So strange what just pops into your head. A poem my late brother wrote when he was a kid in the 1950s. It has stuck in my mind all these years.
"When I was young, I used to think that girls were sweet as pie.
Now when I think, of what I thunk, I think I thunk a lie."
