I'm a self-professed Cynic and likely a lone voice, but I don't believe people are capable of true freedom. Our Founders were wise, but imperfect. Liberty always devolves into someone perceiving an injustice or an "unfairness" and others stepping in to "right" the injustice or inequality. Soon you have a form of governance over all, unwanted by a few or the many. Too late. Government is established and laws and rules are set. In short order, the governors begin to relish their control and enrich themselves and their heirs by oppressing and stealing from the governed. Some of the governed curry favor with their leaders and a caste system of one flavor or other develops. The form the goverment takes, Communist, Socialist, Fascist, Monarchy, Democratic Republic, is no matter. All do the same. It is the way of men.

Render unto Caesar what he claims is his, for nothing truly is his.

Do your best to look after those in your "class" and for those with a worse lot in the world than the lot you've drawn and find peace with your God.
