1132: Frank Zappa – The Government Doesn’t Own You

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a 'temporary license to exist' — in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government, it doesn't own you. —Frank ZappaDownload Print Quality (3840×2010) 2.16MB  |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 223KB
