From my FR thread archives:
This essay was originally posted in August 1998 by OWK, for several years one of our Freepers who frequently posted quality articles (both sourced and vanity) regarding freedom & liberty. I've included a few of the opening comments from a very long thread.

So, at least for me, the question is: Eleven years ago we were all saying pretty much the same things we are saying now. Only the level of tyrannical pain has increased 10-fold in the interim.

Therefore, can we conclude from our own FR history that eleven years from now:

• Tyranny, again, will be 10-times more painful; and,
• We will still be sitting at keyboards; cussing, muttering, voting, and reinventing the same failed-plans for straightening this horrific Constitutional mess out?

Just a question...I don't know the answer. Maybe in 10-years venues such as FR will have been outlawed.

Heck. Maybe, in ten years, cussing, muttering, and voting will have been outlawed........

Time for change, change back that is!

Choose this day how you will serve; Will you serve unwillingly and at the biding of others wearing the yoke of socialism or will hold true to the course of our forefathers’ standing tall and serving freely? As for me I choose to SERVE THE REPUBLIC!!

How do you get to the old articles? I have a few that are no longer accessible.

By the way, the rumor of OWK’s accidental death was a hoax.

The periodic bouts of “Ban The Heretic!” have done as much damage to FR as Stalin’s 1937 purges did to the Red Army.
