It is difficult for me to witness the death of my nation; the death of liberty. The recollection of those days in the late 60’s and 70’s when a person could walk out on their property and do as they please, without fear of being reported for failure to recycle, or some such idiocy as we encounter daily in America today, remain as banners of freedom in my mind. For those who have never felt the liberty of a low-technology state cannot know what I mean by “liberty.”
For all of the technological advances that have led to the 24/7 surveillance of our daily lives, there has been no decrease in crime, no decrease in terror threats. If increased security is not a by product of the sacrifice of liberty, then liberty is sacrificed for no reason at all, but to feed the ambitions of the totalitarians.
It is easy to criticize me for growing disgusted with the talk of this movement and the inaction in the face of absolute surrender to the forces of evil that seek the total destruction of liberty. Yes, I have gotten so fed up with it that I chose to discontinue this blog, but have been encouraged to return. Despite my detractors, there are those who value my point of view and find their opinions voiced on this blog.
David;
There’s no need to quit entirely. Just take a short sabbatical to regain your sense of balance ( we all know how today’s news can be mind-bending) and return when you have your focus back.
Even as a new-comer, I find your articles and opinions of great value and have forwarded many of them far and wide.
As a former “Survival” column writer, on a blog called “hard noxs and friends.com”, I had to take a sanity-break; I have yet to return.
Keep the faith and keep your sanity, my friend, but don’t give up.

Sorry! Kindly forward it to Mr. Davis. Being new, I’m not quite familiar with all of your contributing authors yet.
