Saul, I like this Blog. This one in particular struck a cord..
Hasn't it always been so? Anyone who stands up to any status quo runs enormous risk of .. something.. maybe correcting a wrong??

I don't know, ace2inspire, what you describe sounds like a dictatorial
theocracy. They tend to be intolerant and end in bloody revolution. Besides, that's what Bush has been trying to create for the past eight years, Falwell and Robertson and Buchanan for most of their lives...

That, Troosha, becomes the dilemma. Speak up, call attention to the
wrong and oneself, and have the government after you. Don't speak up, go underground and call attention to the wrong, and the government eventually goes after you. Play it safe, do nothing, and die with bitter conscious but safe from the goverment. There it is...

Saul Relative,
In the beginning of this great experiment called the United States of America we were blessed with many great "Radical Thinkers"! Men who saw the dangers of divine rulers who prey upon and leech the governed! Now we are cursed with a cadre of "Radical talkers" who are financed by the government we elect! "We" have allowed these people to abolished "We" from establishing the boundaries of government!
