Living in a free\u00a0 society doesn’t mean that you ride the coattails of the folks ensuring it\u00a0 remains free. Too many years of apathy and ignorance have left a damaged system.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t think you have to do anything, then I would say that you need to\u00a0 leave this country. If you say that nothing can be done, then I would say you\u00a0 are scared and insecure about yourself. If you say that that things are far too\u00a0 gone to fix, then I would say that today you still have options; it will be too\u00a0 far gone when war is on our land and China (et al) calls in their loans. God has\u00a0 given each of us abilities and skills. What are you doing to earn your freedom?<\/p>\n
