>      To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed,

> so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction
> noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered,
> assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden,
> reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility,
> and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under
> contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from,
> squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first
> word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted
> down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged,
> condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all,
> mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government;
> that is its justice; that is its morality.
