We're losing.
It's happening all around us. It used to be there, it used to be strong, but now it's pulse is weak. It gets weaker by the day. Like an old man with cancer, it fades away from us. The light becomes dimmer with each passing day. It's trying hard to hang on, but it groans from the massive weight that has been thrust upon it. The situation is not a good one, but there is still some hope for it.
There is still time to save it, to fix it, to heal it. To cure it's critical wounds. Action can be taken. It needs all of our help if it is to survive. What can we do to help it? I don't have the all the answers, merely suggestions. We need to protect it. We need to stop aiding it's enemies. Stop accepting the system. Stop accepting abuse. Stop fretting for your latte, your Prozac, your contract. Corruption. Lies. Bullshit. It's all bullshit. The same old things continue to drain it:
The war on drugs, the war on freedom, tersm, patriotism, nationalism, taxes, smoking bans, laws, regulations, cops, republicans, democrats, borders, corporations, universal health care, forced public transportation systems, sports stadiums, the blue wall of silence, TSA, BATF, forced pledges of allegiance, photo cops, speeding tickets, political conventions that require 10,000 armed jackboots. The list goes on and on and on. What can you do to shorten it? What can you do to help save it. Our dearest friend. It needs us now more than ever before.
Liberty.
“Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.”
"Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power."
“All government, of course, is against liberty.”
“No man's life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session.”
