For thousands of years the Kings and Queens of Europe were able to convince the people that they were chosen by God to be their rulers. Up until the middle of the 18th Century their position went unchallenged.
In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that it was a self evident truth that all men were created equal and that they had been endowed by their Creator with the unalienable rights which included the right to life, liberty and property. This pronouncement affirmed that no one had a right to violate another man's life, liberty or property.
Kings and Queens no longer enslave nations, the bankers have taken their place. Just like in the days of old, the rich and powerful reign today in castles we call banks. German philosopher Goethe once stated "The most helpless of all slaves, is the man that falsely believes that he is free,"
We have been poorly educated, but well schooled to believe everything thing that we are taught in the government schools. We are taught to trust our leaders and that good citizens are obedient and never question authority. Unfortunately, most Americans have become dependent on the government and are not capable of distinguishing between what we are taught and what is true.
Benjamin Franklin admonished us to question authority, but today we are taught that obedience is a virtue and disobedience for any reason is a sin. Schools teach conformity and reward the students for not thinking critically.
The parents that bring children into the world have the responsibility to feed and care for their children. Education of your children is your responsibility and to turn over your precious children to the state for indoctrination is a terrible mistake
