Does seem rather obvious, doesn't it?
I recieved the same criticism the other day from a semi-enlightened-type of sheeple, while I was ranting about general political mindset.
"What good does all that negative energy do? Why don't you go out and change things instead of griping?"
Then it dawned on me.
"You," I said, "live in an upside-down world where standing up and speaking out for your beliefs is not something to be admired, something that inspires and commands respect -- in your world these things are 'making trouble' and 'extremist' and 'opinionated'."
"In your world the most important thing is to get along, and not offend. To be silent. Bland. You are an ethical eunuch"
"In my world, fighting the good fight and setting examples for others makes you feel alive and making impact, and the most crucial need people-like-you have is to know that you MUST speak out, your very soul is at stake. This is why I speak out, this is why merely hearing me do so frightens and cowers you. Makes you admonish me. You live in upside-down world, my white is your black."
As for the author, although I happen to AGREE with many of his points about government, Statists and Statism, he is, by his own mouth, unsaved. That is his loss and I pray he finds Him soon. The time is short.
Have you noticed the incredible LAWLESSNESS that is being exposed at ALL levels of society Worldwide. The corporate scandals and the pitiful response at present to punishing the executives responsible with any Real "Time"(these miscreants caused more harm than any thief that we regularly give 10-20 years) is something we have never seen in such magnitude and number. The Robber Barons were rank amateurs in comparison.
Take care,
