Children Quote by Ash Sweeney
“Throughout your life you have a lot of freedom. As a child you are free to obey your parents. You are also free to get what you are given, rather than what you want. As an adult you are free to abide by the law. Acting just so, in order to make life easier for the government, not us. You are also free to pay your bills and get fired from work, when you could easily be TRULY free and do it all how you want it done.”
