As for voting, I registered yesterday, at least sent in my registration. I think that I will just put myself down for president. This way I have voted, and in what some people see, give me the right to bitch. I don’t have to vote for any primary or secondary. I could even vote for you.
If US Americans decided to take up arms against the government, they would be meet with a military force. Do you think that for one instance the people in power would give it up? I don’t. Almost 100 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed, we had a civil war. That war was a blood bath, how do you think it would turn out now? You have citizens with riffles and the government with technology.
The dictators, yes that is what they are in my opinion, rule this country by fear. I don’t car if they call the figure head “The President” or not. I’m talking about all 3 branches of the government as one dictatorship, not just one person.
I know I could move. I know if I don’t like something here I can either voice my opinion, which is what I am doing (one freedom they are starting to take away). I can vote for a puppet to be placed in front of the world. I have all of those choices. The fact remains at any given point in time the government can take it all away from you and me. They can take your land, your house, and any other positions that you have worked hard for, without giving you a reason. Unless you consider someone with fat pockets and wants to build a shopping mall on your land a good enough reason.
So do me a favor and back off. You like being controlled, I don’t. You don’t mind if you have to give up everything and start over for a mall, I do.
Ben Franklin once said, “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
I for one am tired of them controlling my life. The last part of the Wiccan Reed says this:
These Eight words the Rede fulfill:
“An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will”
To me, related to the government, I don’t need someone to tell me to wear a seatbelt. It is my life and I am in control over it. I believe that I will die because of a seat belt one day, and because there are laws that say I have to wear one I am being controlled. Will me not wearing a seat belt harm anyone but me in an auto crash? No it will not. If I am dead, people will be sorrowful, but they have had to physical harm done to them, and I don’t consider sorrow a mental harm as either.
If I want to smoke pot, while my next door neighbor drinks a six pack, you tell me what the difference is? We didn’t get behind the wheel of a car and drive, but we are both relaxed after work. That is just one example of deception that the government and media has plauged us with, and that is another topic for another day.
If you don’t feel that your freedoms are at stake, and you think that by simple voting that something will change the way the state of the current government, then you are sadly mistaken. Live in your dream world, and continue in the delusions by the picture of the world that they want you to see. Do not ever tell me that I don’t have a right to say something. Speech is a freedom that was not granted by a government, you were born with that right, and as seen in history the government can and will take it away when they feel like it.
