I WANT FREEDOM!!!!

I want to be FREE FROM OPPRESSIVE ECONOMIC AND FOREIGN POLICIES THAT BURDEN ME AND MY CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN TO THE BENEFIT OF A FEW GREEDY EVIL ASSHOLES WHO DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT "DEMOCRACY" OR "LIBERTY" OR "HAPPINESS" OR EQUALITY OR ANYTHING OUR FORE-FATHERS AND FELLOW CITIZENS SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR.

Government was supposed to PROTECT ME FROM OPPRESSION,...not OPPRESS ME.

That's all.

UGH! :banghead:

Yes,I know how you feel. At times it becomes overbearing and I just want to go out and get rip roaring drunk or SOMETHING.

I'd hoped to leave this world a little better for them.

I did my best but those who never gave a damn not only intentionally oppressed and betrayed me but also passed the ticket of oppression to future generations.

I'm sure they are STILL laughing about how successful they were TRICKING a whole nation into giving up liberty to their profiteering scams, advantaging themselves of every damn dime they could divert to their greedy buddies' pockets. Hell, they prolly still get together and do a Bushie Jr. hunt of WMDs under couches and shit.

Yeah. THEY GET OFF ON OPPRESSING THEIR OWN PEOPLE!!! They LOVE the hunt and win and plunder and shit.

Your FBI dossier is now a page thicker.

They have OVERWHELMED themselves with the data mining resulting in 400 million 'enemies of the state' (that would exceed our population).

:rofl:

Speaking of data mining, is anyone stoopid enough to believe that 'mining' is for something OTHER THAN political power?

Whoosh!

Thankfully, in spite of the neoCONS, there are too many 'service' folks in the system TRAINED in the basics of civics.

It's yours.

Not by yourself.

That is,...unless,...you believe you are an island separate from all. Of course, you can't be that kind of "isolationist". Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, would you.

Consensus? That won't happen. A specific number? Specific people?

I'm not being isolationist, I just see so many people with the same complaint apparently waiting for someone to hand their freedom back to them. If it's not worth getting your freedom back yourself, maybe it's not that important after all. Keep waiting, maybe someone will give it back to you.

I apologize if I failed to communicate the notions of something greater than individuals in the OP or my responses to you.

SUUUURRREEE. Even "oppressed" people have 'choices'.

The choices of the oppressed have nothing to do with the responsibilities of a "so-called" democratic government.

I want to focus on the responsibilities of government.

Why you prefer to distract from an open and accountable democratic government, only YOU can explain.

Say and do whatever you want, I don't give a shit.

On edit: EEEK,...I misspelled "epitome"! (remind myself to use spell-check, OFTEN)

"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war."
-Bob Marley
