If you decide to serve the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land no more, you are at once freed (maybe only spiritually and mentally but, freed none-the-less). If you resolve to serve your fellow man, family, freedom, liberty, and the exercise of inalienable rights no more, you have then resolved yourself to to the status of a wretch with a harsh yoke.
