The Freedom of Thought

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

This is the most important commandment of the Ten Civil Commandments of the U.S. Constitution (otherwise known as the Bill of Rights). In fact, this commandment is so important that:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." (Commandment #2)

Well, that's the theory anyway.

The Freedom of Thought is inherent to the 1st Commandment. One can not establish a religion, exercise religiously, speak, write, assemble with others, or complain to the government without first making a cognitive choice to do so. This cognitive process is called thought, and it represent the very foundation of the 1st Commandment.

So, we are allowed to think freely, right?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."


Think again...

everyday, your mind is bombarded by cultural information that shapes the way you think. This information shapes your world-view. This information programs your mind for specific modes of thought. This information influences the way you perceive reality. This information is more than just language; it is: math, music, science, religion, economics, semantics, and light.

Don't believe me? Just turn on the TV, and watch as hundreds of businesses pay big bucks for advertisements that try and do ONE thing:

influence your mind.


Can one have a free mind with thousands of economic entities competing for control of one's behavior?

Can one have a free mind when the daily stress that one's mind experiences is only allowed to be treated by government-approved "medicines"?

Can one have a free mind when one's life depends on arbitrary, inflationary money?

******

This is why the U.S. Constitution is more myth than reality.


but it doesn't have to be this way...

Land...

this land is your land,
this land is my land,
knock down the forest,
pave all the farm land.
build concrete towers,
jack property values,
this land was made for you and me.

this land is your land,
this land is my land,
was once a forest,
now a media island.
you'd own your home
'cept for that no-down loan,
this land was made for you and me.

this land is your land,
this land is my land,
and no one knows,
the future stock trends,
so I'm going to eat well,
while I can.
this land was made for you and me.

this land is your land,
this land is my land,
now those who loan
have screwed the home land.
can't right a song
'bout bankrupt forests,
this land was made for you and me.

this land was your land,
this land was my land,
now it seems lost,
in financial jargon.
not gonna get guns,
I'm gonna start a garden,
cause this land was made for you and me.

We can what?

Oh no, SOCIALISM! be afraid, be very afraid.

Obama is going to take your money and give it to the poor.

be very afraid indeed.

you didn't notice when socialism took over education. you didn't notice when socialism took over public security. you didn't think about it when socialism took over the postal service. you were looking the other way when socialism took over your mind.

"spread the wealth?" the onslaught of socialism in America? if you believe this, you were probably government educated (or worse, educated by someone who was).

wealth is an illusion. the plague of blindness is already widespread. the "Pink Panic" will pass in time to be found empty. Obama will mostly likely not take your money and "spread it around." But, that's not the point.

Today, tomorrow, and in the future, our nation must survive. If it does not, we can expect dwindling food and fresh water supplies, and hyper inflation, and in increase in waste, disease, crime and social conflict. These are the trends that follow failed states. We should not be blind to the facts: all governments are subject to entropy.

Today, tomorrow, and in the future, our nation must regulate the consumption and production of energy while managing our waste byproducts. Using cow shit to generate electricity is one thing; Using a nuclear reaction to do the same creates volatile, mutagenic toxins that take thousand of years to break down. If humanity's future depends upon each nation's ability to "beat up" an enemy, then humanity has no future, folks.

nevermind "spread the wealth." that's like treating a mosquito bite while letting the gaping hole in your stomach go gangrenous. Here is what WE CAN DO:
