The life you save may be your own
when you fight gov oppression (assuming you "win" in some way or another), you keep others from losing to the gov... and etc..
when people are oppressed by the gov (being too powerful, being able to violate the Constitution, while the little people cannot...)
they become depressed
hopeless
want to die
Is that the kind of neighbor you want?
I believe every other person (or virtually every person?) in the US has been the victim of tyrannical govt some way or another. So we have become a nation of depressed persons, generally speaking, wary of neighbor, wary of government.
Some nation we have become. When people are depressed and nearly in despair, well, how can they be a productive, contributing member of society? When they live in fear of what the govt will do to them next (ridiculous fines for "violating" some STUPID regulation that is unCosntitutional anywayre, etc...)
well, this country has a LONG way to go in being great again.. I appreciate what Trump is doing toward that end, but we ALL have to do something.. or it won't work
