  1. From which of his writings is this sourced from?

  2. I don’t remember off-hand. I believe I got it from a FB post.

  3. Thank you. I have been trying to verify this as an actual Lysander Spooner quote, which it is widely attributed to him. But the only person that I have been able to verify this as a quote by is Jeffrey R. Snyder. That is not to say Jeffrey didn’t used it from Lysander, though.

    Thank again,
    EB
