The
new opiate of the people is not bread and wine nor opium wrapped propaganda,
but cells phones, food stamps and unemployment pay. What ever the gift
offered, whether by Rome, Japan or America, let us not deceive one another, it
is a drug parading as a gift, a counterfeit, a fake that seeks to deceive.
It is “the man's” final great grasp for power. Freedom is the
greatest gift, but also the hardest to keep. Freedom means you are not only
responsible for yourself, but also for anyone less fortunate than yourself.
Governments will always have a tendency to try and limit the freedoms of
the individual. It is the free individual's responsibility to resist the
government’s tendency. The greatest way to resist is to care for your
neighbor as you would care for yourself.
