So I'm posting once again… but why? What does it matter? There is nothing we can do about it. People don’t want to hear it anyway. They just want to pretend that it’s absurd to even imagine our country’s leaders out to get us. I watched Endgame this week and must say that I’m getting quite disappointed in the level of intelligence in this “free” land. Part of me says they should get what they deserve. I just wish there was a way for me and my family to not also be affected by the changes that are coming even faster now. Anyway, I really am too upset to respond to Sarah’s question today. Instead I’m gonna start a new thing…

So I stumbled upon a website the other day with some interesting quotes on it from our founding fathers and would like to start sharing and discussing them. It amazes me how we let the Supreme Court take a look at things from the past and see what the true meaning was when all we have to do is research what they meant by their writings! Anyway, here we go…

"Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin


How valid is this quote today? It makes me sick to my stomach to know that these people were so much smarter than us as to realize this. How could they know? Maybe because it happened to them too? Maybe history repeats itself? We have to give up our liberties for some security. I have to be tracked every move I make?! I have to be on camera if I go in public?! I have to be scanned and harassed just for the privilege of flying on a plane that I paid for?!!!!! I will have to have a national ID card for my safety? What do I need protection from that I cannot provide myself? There have always been bad guys. Maybe if we stopped taunting how great we are and rubbing everyone else’s noses in it we wouldn’t be hated so much! Have any of our braindead citizens thought about that? We need to get them Iraqis because someone somehow linked them to the people who ALLEGEDLY flew some planes into our buildings? Wake up, damnit!

Too mad to go on…
