Freedom

In this society today it seems that we are all in line at the buffet of knowledge, unwittingly being served the choices of those who wish to limit us.

In this world of the “new bad guy” known as terrorism it seems that the ones taking away from us are the very ones that claim to be protecting us. As I see it, this country was founded on choices, but the choice to be controlled has been taken away. We have been scared into a submission that reeks of dishonesty and brainwashing. We have been forced to accept the words of those that we have given the keys to the gate, taking advantage of the naivety and trust that exists in the country as a group, but is only there because we have been told so. We are told to accept all those that are different and cherish diversity, but to a point where it has created a paranoia of the collective mind that everyone is different now and separates us into the groups we were trying to erase!

Do you want an answer from me? Well I think the answer is pretty plain. Get off our pathetic behinds and stand up. No I’m not talking about backwoods militia groups in Montana. I don't condone the actions of some of those radical groups, but at least they know how to organize and say that they are ticked off!

Now we don’t need 50 acres and a truckload of guns to say we are mad, but the first step could be to turn off the t.v. and talk to your neighbors! Yeah, the guy in the house next to you. I’m sure that what he has to say will probably affect you more than all the news anchors in the country. He is the guy that we have been fighting for all these years! Fighting for the right to stand in your front yard in a dirty t-shirt, sporting a beer belly and holding a can of Meister Brau .

We have some fantastic freedoms in this country, but we forget who they are for! No, the founding fathers didn’t intend the Bill of Rights to be used by those who want to force their agenda on us. In fact I believe they had the opposite idea in mind. We have the freedom to be left the alone! However, if you can’t accept your neighbor, and decide you are going to use the constitution as a tool to persecute him, then you should just pack right now and hop the first plane to a small island, where you can start your own kingdom, and live as Lord of the Flies!

OK, got that off my chest. Next time something lighter. Thanks for reading!
