I think the goverment is grabbing power over the american people and rights and again I don't care what party they belong too...
I used to make a big deal about politics back in the day. I used to be an activist and had no life...but I repeat myself. I just got tired of the empty promises and missed opportunities as allegedly "smart" candidates lost.
I realized that I was duped and came to the conclusion that the system failed long ago and I don't need them. In 2005 I gave up that nonsense. And once I gave it all up I found myself freer to see things more objectively without the cacophony of the echo chamber of campaign propaganda and governmental hysteria.
It's merely a coincidence that I gave up watching television later in that year.
I'm more concerned about my own part of the world and my own sphere of existence while making life a bit better for those within or near it. It is a waste of precious time to focus outside of that where things get distorted through distance.
Looking back I chuckle at how I used to be duped. And that's when I lost my fear of the government. And I saw how others get duped into that mindset through fear.
Most of the time all it takes to break out of that is to take a look around and ask yourself, "Is there really an immediate threat to me, right here and right now?" It's about a look at where you're at right now and seeing that there aren't any agents at your door or tapping your data lines and that there is no probable cause for such actions to be undertaken.
And yes, I've read Orwell. I'd be more concerned about the cameras and microphones being embedded into telescreens and computer displays that phone home back to their manufacturers than the government. Some tape to cover the lens, a quick snip of the lead wires to the microphone and you're secure. ;-)
