How many people can you think of that could care less about the preservation of their rights? from the stereotypical thug yelling about the "5th" to the average joe who knows nothing about his 2A rights until someone breaks into his house.
I believe that people only want their rights when they need them. I've been in a lot of discussions about the American form of government lately and the conclusion that I've drawn is people only want a "democracy or republic" when things aren't going their way. If a monarchy offered the benefits or better than our society, would the population be exploding with unrest? No. They'd be sitting around eating Cheetos in their underwear. The point of this thread is to hear some input on human nature. do we only care about our freedoms when they're in jeopardy? Are we only thankful when the times are tough? Why? It's a little unnerving at times. How many people would trade a system of checks and balances for free cable t.v. and no rent?
An important reminder of where the world stands. can we get off the rope. I'm sick of staring at the abyss.
Go NRA for fighting the good fight when I'm too tired to go another round in the octagon.
