        Thanks for the correction. The statement has been corrected. Englishmen George Orwell wrote “1884”

    1. IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny? …when the Government fears the people we have Liberty?
      If it’s true, then the denizens of the nation’s Capitol building got a taste of Liberty when they fled from–and cowered in–fear of the Peaceful Protesters on January 6, 2021. Of course they reverted to Tyranny during the days, weeks, and months afterward, while they and their willing little minions have tried to instill fear in the citizen participants with Trumped-up charges and bloated sentences.
      Perhaps we should designate January 6 as Liberty Day, to be celebrated annually!
