In Salon.com's feature article today, Hunter S. Thompson, discusses the state of the union and the tyranny of fear. This quote explains all too well what might just be going on around us. i'm afraid it's plausible.
"I believe the Republicans have seen what they've believed all along, which is that this democracy stuff is bull, and that people don't want to be burdened by political affairs. That people would rather just be taken care of. The oligarchy doesn't need an educated public. And maybe the nation does prefer tyranny. I think that's what worries me. It goes back to Fourth Amendment issues. How much do you value your freedom? Would you trade your freedom for some illusion of security? Freedom is something that dies unless it's used."
How many of us ignore problems so long as we feel secure? I know many around me do, and I know there are times I don't speak up when I should. how can we get ourselves to take our freedoms seriously, to practice them so they don't die? keep voting is one way, but there have to be more.
