RESUMEN:
[cita de Bentham:]All men are born free? All men remain free? No, not a single man: not a single man that ever was, or is, or will be. All men, on the contrary, are born in subjection, and the most absolute subjection — the subjection of a helpless child to the parents on whom he depends every moment for his existence. In this subjection every man is born — in this subjection he continues for years — for a great number of years — and the existence of the individual and the species depends upon his so doing.
