And I pay my taxes and vote my concience. I just think it's messed up to call
it a contract. It's a dodge. I'd be happier if we just enunciated the fact
that we are partially or sort-of owned by the state. As long as they control
our right to our own body's labor, we are vassals.

Does that mean that the descendants of those slaves have a different set of
obligations to the state?
From the perspective of the individual, how is being brought from Africa with
no choice, different than being brough from the womb with no choice? I reject
the possibility of being born into a contract.
