The Good American

People give up their rights to their rulers because they are scared. The problem with doing that is that power intoxicates and the person who gave up the power could find themselves on the receiving end of the misuse of power. Just because you are a member of an group that is not currently persecuted, that doesn't mean that the rulers won't someday see you as a threat.

That's why you don't give up your rights to them.
