curmugeon | On this day...

This is required reading... and give it some thought. What have we wrought? And what are we going to do about it? I'm adopting a philosophy that was introduced to me by another.. live simply so others may live... I think it goes back to Gandhi... give it a lot of thought, as today we have lost so many freedoms...the media does not tell the news, only the propaganda the corporate masters want us to hear, instilling fear and retelling the lies, over and over, till we are brainwashed. We are watched, we are monitored, we are all part of someone's databank. We can vote, but will it be counted? That food you bought.. is it safe? We now live in a post 9/11, almost Orwellian world. May we live quietly, keeping our eyes open, using critical thinking, watching what is happening around us, staying alive. We need to be alive, as someday the people will wake up, and while some may say it will be too late, many will be willing to lay down our lives for another try at freedom. I'll keep that flame alive in my heart. Freedom, sounds good to me... sounds scary to those who want to control us. Pledge allegiance to that pole.
