When you make everything safe, you eliminate freedom

When you are told, "for your safety and security we will take responsibility your safety and security", the price you pay is your freedom, little pieces everyday, for your safety we will tap your phones, we will invade your privacy, we will lock up bad people, so you can sleep at night. All these encroachments are what we see as normal now, what do you think our founding father's would think of this?


When society (groups or religions, my huge pet peeve) becomes institutionalized, by that, it means, its goal is to sustain itself more rather than to serve the people who belong to it. In it's attempt to squelch and eliminate all chaos, the price you (they) pay is to eliminate change. You close the door to chaos, you close the door to change. It makes it impossible to grow, to actually serve the people it was designed to lead/organize. The institution itself becomes a prison for those who are part or follow it.

Chaos, is not bad, we have been conditioned to see it this way.
Without it nothing can come from possibility, no change can occur.
Chaos comes before change, during change, and after change.
Do you think this nation is changing?

Fear is not bad, we have also been conditioned to see it that way.
In Shamanism, it is considered the "Great Teacher".
Follow your fears and you will always find the lost pieces of Self. It is the direction to point your compass, it is not to turn away or run from.
Fight/Flight is a reaction, not a choice. An awake person knows the opportunity fear is calling you to. What would the monster under your bed be/look like today, if you didn't go through that fear?
Other than sex, going through your fears is the fastest path to enlightenment.

These particular mind-sets, Fear of Unknown possible future(s), fear of chaos, (All part of change), stops our growth.

I love this country, I want to see that which makes us great, stays in tact. We can do what it takes, just stop allowing our freedoms to be slowly drained from us. Be the powerful, free from fear, responding nation we have learned (and are destined) to be.
