Once upon a time

Once upon a time by Damian Gadal
Once upon a time, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.
Once upon a time there was a land of freedom,
where life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
were God given rights.

These were rights that couldn't be taken away,
and protecting then was the fundamental purpose
of government.

Corruption, greed, and power, as it always does,
found a way to subvert the freedom of the people,
actually convincing them to give it up, all for the
greater good.

That greater good was big government, nothing more.
