Every study the etymology of the word 'liberty'? Keeping you on the short leash......now bark like a dog!

We benighted fools need to be led by the Illuminati and Rothschilds.

Everyone knows the Illuminati and Rothchilds are fictions created by conspiracy theorists. Nothing new to see here, now move along.

The standard dictionaries trace it to the Latin word for free, but that's not the whole story. American usage actually derives from the Polish "liberum veto", or free objection. This was a parliamentary practice which allowed any elected representative to reject taxation by simply voting "no", on the theory that taxation required the consent of those being taxed. The Polish struggle for constitutional government was played out around 1770, and was a primary focus of French social philosophers as the American rebellion was getting under way. Rousseau's work on the Polish constitution, written in 1771, was the most modern thinking on the structure of practical government available at the time. We all learned the motto that "taxation without representation is tyranny", but in fact, contemporary thinking suggests that the root concept was "taxation is tyranny", or "the purpose of representation is to resist taxation." But I guess that's more of an answer than you're prepared to accept.

How about when they allow a ship's crew L-I-B-E-R-T-Y?
