Ok, I may be a bit late on this subject but I've been busy so there. Does anyone else think our government is moving closed and closer to big brother? There using terrorism as an excuse to grab all the power they can. It might be time for another revolution. We're over due, and it's time to remind the government where the power comes from. Us.
I find it interesting that people will use tired old arguments like "liberties don't matter if we're all dead." The gist being that it's ok to take away our civil liberties if it will save lives. These are usually the same people who will then say that it is ok for our soldiers to die to defend our freedoms. Now I do agree with that. War is sometimes necessary. But what I don't get is why people will say that it's ok for soldiers to die to defend our freedom, but it's not ok for us to die to live our freedom.
Do you get that? If you are one of those that say it's ok to take away our freedoms if it will save your life, then you are saying that you are better than the soldiers we send to die. Sure it's ok for them to die to give you freedom, but if your life is jeopardy, then go ahead and take those freedoms away. Why is it ok for someone to die to protect something, then turn around and give up the very thing someone just died to give you, in order that you don't die? You're saying that you're life is more important. If living your freedoms isn't worth dying for, then your freedoms aren't worth someone else dying for. You're saying that someone else can die in your name, but you sure as hell aren't going to.
When I hear the stupid argument, that if we don't let the government spy on everyone, and basically do whatever they want, then people could die in a terrorist attack, I can't help but wonder why these same people will then support a war in order to secure those same liberties they just gave up. Is it worth risking death in order to live in a society that protects our rights? Is living up to the standards we set in the constitution, worth being vulnerable to our enemies? Hell yes! If you let the government take away freedom in ourder to protect your life, then it should never be worth it for anyone to die in order to secure that freedom. If any of us are worth dying to protect our way of life, then all of us are worth dying in order to live that way of life.
Stop being pussies. Lets bitch slap the government back under control, and out of our damn lives. If I die in an attack because the government wasn't allowed to spy on everyone then so be it. At least I will have died living a free life. Stop letting the excuse of terrorism turn this country into the type of totalitarian dictatorship this counrty was founded to get away from.
That's all for now.
