A theory to consider: When an individual perceives himself as non-expendable and overly self-important, freedom has been dealt a death blow.
As an even less than casual observer of history I believe I have learned one thing; our founding fathers deemed themselves expendable in the quest for freedom. When they signed the Declaration of Independence they knew theywere signing a warrant for their arrest or their death. They were willing to sacrifice all safety for freedom.
So, how many of us view ourselves are expendable in the quest to maintain freedom? To bring in another taboo subject.... If you look at the Bible and look at the number of times that Jesus referred to people as sheep, I think you will come to the conclusion that being a sheep (defined as: safety loving more than freedom loving person) is our true nature and to be a person that staunchly stands for freedom requires us to stand squarely against our true nature.
I for one believe that I am (in the grand scheme of things) expendable and that freedom is more important than safety (especially government provided safety :what. As long as letter writing, speaking up for liberty and voting maintains those freedoms... then that's what I'll do.I'll stand for Liberty and pray that more will not be needed.
What say you?
