Guilt: The Gift that keeps on giving.
Very good tirade, FRiend. You provide a lot of good nuggets to use in illustrating how the current elite are simply following the well-worn path known to the ancients for getting the peasantry to subjugate themselves and elevate the elite to autocracy.
Sad thing is, we can keep saying these things here, but how many young people are instead being programmed not to care whether they have any true liberty or not. They are taught to value being able to fornicate and intoxicate themselves instead of being free to support themselves.
It is all a very saddening prospect on this otherwise beautiful Sunday morning.
I believe the best thing now is to go to church and pray God have mercy on us.
