I am the State

Having been freed of the false illusions and thought-stifling processes of charlatan educators, whose homogenized teachings of half-truths and misconceptions have clouded my past judgment, I have awakened from the apathetic, zombie-like dream state that plagues many of my fellow Americans and have found that we have been duped.

Rules as set forth by the power-elite are tools devised to mold us into their ideal citizens. I am a spirit, a free thinker, governed by a higher moral authority and as such refuse to be shaped to match their will.

Truth, in a Democracy, the right to speak it coupled with open-mindedness and the desire to fight for it, is really the only thing that will keep this nation great. The day that main stream media prostituted itself to corporate money and became nothing more than entertainment, we the people lost our greatest ally in keeping the truth alive.

Internet neutrality is the next target of corporate repression and even if we are not able to stop them from taking that away from us, we the people will keep the truth flowing through what ever other means lay at our disposal.

We Need to Work on This List

Belief that the government ‘owes me’
Belief that the world ‘owes me’
Lack of moral/ethical leadership
Loss of respect for self and for others
'Common good' is dead
Parents who use bribery as a parental tool
Parents who don't punish their children for bad bahavior
Absentee parents
Abuse of public trust
If there isn’t a written law against it then it must be okay to do it
Greed
Lawyers & politicians
Voter apathy
Lack of personal responsibility
Drug & Alcohol abuse
Attitude of 'Me first'
Disappearing common courtisies
Eroding away of moral values
