Fighting Spirit, you hit the nail on the head. Big Brother allows us to have Things(toys) affluence and a percieved notion that we are Free to do what we want. It's all a smoke screan to keep us pacified. When we are pacified, they can then slowly, incrimentally, raise our taxes and remove bit by bit our rights. We whine about these oppresive tactics of Big Brother but we dare not rock the boat for fear of losing our toys. I am here to tell you all that I am not a quiter. I believe there is hope for regaining our Republic we once had through delagence,principles, persiverance, and courage. To do this we must band together as one in a common cause. We as individuals or in small cells with differant agendas will never succed. May our Heavenly Father bless us all.
