A free and thinking person does not accept and internalize crap imposed
by usurpers but rebels against it. Did you ever stop to think that
unless you're harming a fellow citizen nobody except perhaps your
parents when you're living at home has any right to apply a curfew to
you? Or have you always been a mindless, obedient twit? Is that what
Harvard is accepting for admission these days? If so, we're doomed. I
sure as hell won't send my kids there.
