Remember a chat about "what is the difference between a Canadian and a American, well here it is.

The difference between a Canadian and an American is that a Canadian is a subject and an American is a citizen. Surprised no one pick that up before. Thomas Jefferson almost made a mistake writing the Declaration of Independance..

No insult intended, I just read about the error.

When you are subject to the whims of the ruling class, there is no difference between citizen and subject. It would be nice if we lived in a democracy, but we don't (neither do you).

We aren't just any subjects, we are loyal subjects. We will fight to our deaths to defend Her Majesty the Queen. God save Her!

I don't think I'm very loyal. The elite might consider me a "subject" but I consider myself a captive.

Maybe you should Google "Free Man on the Land". You might find something to inspire you there. Or Google Mary Croft. She writes some interesting stuff about being free of the burdens of the elite and their economic system of oppression.

I'm a subjected citizen: subjected to the inane and sometimes insane whims of politicians.
