I am a reasonable person who will listen to any and all viewpoints on an issue, and my opinions are not hardened... I can be convinced my views are wrong. There are a few issues though that I would readily die for, and that is a rare thing in these times.

Let me say that again, I would die (defined as: sacrifice my life and well being) in the struggle for true freedom for future generations. There are not many who would do the same, because it is has become far too easy to accept things for what we have today. If you continue to accept the decay of freedoms we once enjoyed (the slow boil), at what point will people say, "Hey shit is fucked up, we are living in a dictatorship"

Unfortunately most people believe government is an extension of their Mommy. Government is necessary, and the bigger the better...

It is this way of thinking the perpetuates bigger and bigger government (Mommy), while at the same time reducing the freedoms of the people of this world. I say world, because my comments are directed at the entire world, not my cozy homes in 'first' world nations.

Do you live a just life? Do you wake up and want to hurt people? Do you know what is best for you and you family?

If you agree with the above statements, then why would you let a faceless entity dictate large portions of your freedom? Freedom is a gift and a right that has been shat upon for too long. People assume that this is the way it has to be, instead of actively destroying the parts of society that infringe on our rights we give little piece of ourselves and our freedom to adjust to these things.

I do not say these things to insult people, or people's views, it pains me to see people so willing to give away their freedoms and rights. Is that such a bad thing to fight for?

If you feel nothing is worth fighting for, then we as a civilized society are doomed.
