The wonderful tipping point I need to remember ...

I was dully aware when I put up my last post that I was kind of violating my New Year's resolution to accentuate the positive and not give in to fear-mongering. I mean, it's important to call attention to the things that are wrong, but only in so far as we have to do this to make them right. You can't fix a problem if you deny that it exists. I don't know how many people realize that the DHS recently bought millions and millions of hollow-point bullets, but it does kind of seem to be fear-mongering, doesn't it? And fear-mongering for the sake of fear-mongering is absolutely useless, even though misery loves company. Yeah, okay, be prepared but don't let fear take control of your life. Sometimes I have trouble with that. So anyway, here's a positive video to kind of counter-act that last bit of negativity. I do believe we're on some kind of a threshold in this respect as well. Hat tip to Zen Gardener.

Ignorance + Hate + Stupidity = FEAR, the favorite state of being in teh USSA.

Greg, that's how they want us to be, because it's easy to control a frightened people. They'll follow anyone who seems like they know what they're doing, and these days that's often leading the sheeple straight to the slaughterhouse.

There's a fine line between being aware and spreading panic and a sense of hopelessness, and I often wonder if the constant reports of hyped-up military action are for real or if they aren't just to keep people too scared to actually *do* anything. I know one thing ... The Powers That Were are definitely afraid of the people, or they wouldn't be trying so hard to disarm them.
