America has always been the land of the free and the home of the brave, composed of vast expanses of countryside, herds of bison and pronghorns, economic expansion, and freedom of will and destiny from birth until death. But alas, this country that we were taught to value above all others and pridefully defend as the one true beacon of righteousness on a planet full of greed, small-mindedness and intolerance does not actually exist. If it were not for the television programming, we all, as a country, would already realize this. But as it is, we collectively await our fall, in love with the vision of ourselves, but oblivious to the ominous curtain closing on our American stage.
We’ve been arguing about women’s rights and homosexuality and gun laws, while the system has been pilfering our freedoms, one by one. Extremely wealthy and powerful, un-elected entities have been deciding who our representatives will be and how they will vote on an agenda decided out of public sight for so long now, that we’ve come to accept it as normal. Each year, thousands of new laws are passed. All of them cost the American citizen two things; money and freedom.
Unfortunately, there are needed laws. Unfortunately, people murder, rape and steal, and corporations pollute, murder, rape and steal and so, we must have laws to deal with these abhorrent behaviors. However, what is the justification for the other thousands of laws added in every state House, in every city and county, and nationally each session? Behind the scenes some group is spending enormous amounts of money to buy legislation in order to make much more money or attain control over something that will provide power. The legislation will be funded by the people and the restrictions will be handed down to the people.....LINK
