I can’t for the life of me understand why people around me don’t make the connection between the obvious decline in purchasing power they’ve experienced over the past 5 years and the debasement of our currency. Most are not even questioning it.

I think the powers that be discovered long long ago that humans are, on average, about as smart and as easily influenced/frightened to move here and there as cattle, and should be treated as such.

The problem with this country now is that so few are willing to trade their life or their freedom for the principles on which this nation once stood. Mostly because of the slow creep of the theft of time, and because we aren’t missing meals. Yet.

Until we lower our tolerance for tyranny to the point where the mere denial of our dreams and our plans spurs us to extreme action, nothing will change.

I feel a sense of shame that I am not out striking fear into those who would oppress us. A small team of dedicated men could grind this all to a halt.

And then I look at around me at those who depend on me daily for their security, and I think I am doing what I should.
