HAPPY 5TH OF NOVEMBER!!
Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillence coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told,
if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to (an elected official). He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.
More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives.
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting another person's freedom. You can only be free, if I am free.

Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.
When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.

Makes it a little less scary than the idea of a 'ghost' being an dead, but 'existing' person.
