1144: Frank Zappa – The Illusion of Freedom

W1144: Frank Zappa - The Illusion of Freedom
The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater. —Frank Zappa

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

W1132: 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 Zappa
