# General Information / Other News
The Illusion of Freedom: We’re Only as Free as the Government Allows:
“Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges.
That’s all we’ve ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter. Sooner or later, the people in this country are gonna realize the government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing. Keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.” George Carlin We’re in a national state of denial.
