ten billion butterfly sneezes

Recorded when there was still a modicum of trust in our government, elected officials, and the press:

Our government, elected officials, and the press are now unfortunately all part of the monolith; reinforcing, aiding, and abetting each other in fostering a culture of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. What modern-day patriot will rise to challenge the madness? Who will boldly assert that individual freedom, including the freedom to fail, is at the very cornerstone of our existence as a country? Who will say that just because some looks/screws/thinks differently from us, they don’t deserve the same basic freedoms that we should all enjoy? Who will say that differences of opinion are just that, differences of opinion, without accusing those who differ of being terrorists or worse?

Probably no one. It seems to me that it’s up to each one of us, in his or her own way, to resist the groupthink herd mentality, and to take back our rights that are slowly being crushed out. Before it’s too late. And also, that each of us support those all-too-few courageous ones who stand and fight against this incredible insanity that has beset us.
