    We Must Never Be Victorious

    I am soon to turn my 64th and in my years on Planet Prison I have noted the very ill-advised habit of victors of wars and battles, petty or grand. The very act of standing victorious represents huge dangers to the victor, for it encourages false senses of security, self-worth, and that somehow "it" is over, we can now relax.

    The Freeman can NEVER relax. It may sound tiresome, perhaps even like someone is too tightly wrapped, but it remains true.

    The worst thing a Freeman can ever do is relax; to assume an enemy is defeated for good; that "it" can never happen again. Not only can it, it will. In all our history we have not so much as a single example of a people coming to some exalted state of freedom where the Tyrant has not eventually returned. Every single liberating event has been followed by the tyrant's return to stature, status, and power - some sooner, some later.

    There is no such thing as the Tyrant vanquished. There are vanquished individuals, but the Tyrant always exists because there is always someone who seeks power over others.

    So when the courts rule in what appears to be "our" favor, take the victory in stride - be glad of it, but never trust it completely and never make the error of thinking that this somehow leaves you less threatened. Any time we displace the Tyrant, celebrate with lots of singing, drinking, screwing, and all that rot, but never think that you can now relax because that is how the enemies of liberty reestablish themselves, whether in a year, a century, a...

    Just know in your mind that the Tyrant is never defeated, but only kept on the other side of the gate on the of best days. The wall must always be walked, the watchtower manned, and it must not be specialists to whom we entrust our lives, but to every living soul.

    Endless vigilance is the single most stern requirement that Freedom demands of the man who would walk its path.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Our words make us the ghosts that we are.

    Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
