>Note as well that the average person today has a better quality of life than medieval kings did. Shut up poor people, you have sanitation and refrigeration! When people who make arguments like this are dragged from their beds kicking and screaming they will only have their own hubris to blame. Edit: Those who down vote forget that we once had an elite ruling class in this country. "what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure." -Thomas Jefferson
