178. Ok what amazes me is the incredible need to still
argue even when the arguments made are being ignored

Oh I expect plenty of very scared people to continue to follow and post... and claim that what is going on right now does not follow a method

If it makes them feel better, and chiefly LESS AFRAID, ok, not everybody has the internal fortitude to look at our present reality and accept it for what it is... nine out of the ten steps to close down a society have been taken... and the tenth is being implemented as we speak

This truly prevents me from sleeping at night, since I know this descent into that dark night will have its own special, shall we say American, characteristics

Nevertheless, I choose to live a moral life in the midst of a moral crisis and speak against this...

Never mind that consequences for resistance in any of these totalitarian states can be severe... especially if you attract too much attention to yourself

But if fear drives you to silence, I cannot do more than actually pity you... even if ultimately I understand.

Oh and I expect the black IGNORE list to follow... and for accusations I will never see to be levied

But we tried to engage in civilized debate... and fear drove the debate... if this can be called a debate

Oh and lastly.. I hope this can be turned around... and that all the screams of yes, it is THIS bad will be proven wrong... for none of us truly wants to experience the full force of a police state... of tyranny, to use the ancient term.
