Where this belongs…
Rudy Giuliani, presedential candidate and ‘America’s Mayor’ snort describes his conception of freedom in a 1994 speech:
"…We look upon authority too often and focus over and over again, for 30 or 40 or 50 years, as if there is something wrong with authority. We see only the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don’t see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do. …
The solutions are going to be found when we figure out as a society what our families are going to be like in the next century, and how maybe they are going to be different. They are going to have to be just as solid and just as strong in teaching every single youngster their responsibility for citizenship. We’re going to find the answer when schools once again train citizens. Schools exist in America and have always existed to train responsible citizens of the United States of America. …"

And this pile of dung would be president. Slavery is Freedom!
