Frankly, I’m not ready to die for my country anymore. I am willing to die for my family, and if the issue is living free or living as a slave, then I’d rather die.

The takers want the makers to keep making, and the makers are seeing that there aren’t many alternatives left.
There’s no happy ending here that I can see. It’s why electing republicans doesn’t help any more, and why we got handed Romney.
All that’s left is hanging on to power for an elite class, and the rest of us live with a change in the acceleration toward the one destination. No deceleration is proposed by either side.
What I AM ready for is the day they try to take me away, if it comes. I’ll go down shooting, or the Lord will work a miracle as he did for the Jews enslaved in Egypt. Barring no sign from the Lord, I’ll go down shooting.

We’re on the same page, FRiend. I will not be enslaved. That’s not how man is supposed to live. I, too, fear we’re left with few avenues. I feel like cattle being driven to one destination. The fences are drawing closer to the herd.
Praying for a miracle but preparing my soul for the inevitable, may it come swiftly when it’s upon me.
