I'm a dreamer, and I'm sure that this is only a period of time when things *have* to be restricted, to get to the next period - where there will be freedom.

Listen: people have been used to the idea of 'freedom' as something guaranteed. Therefore, they don't feel that it will disappear. It's like when you're used to have a coffee in the morning: if someone would tell you that there will be less and less coffee from now on, because they use coffee to hide drugs, you may just say "how sad" and keep drinking from your mug. That's it. But once you'll realize that there *is* no more coffee *and* you haven't done anything wrong or that you think is illegal, then you *might* want to stand up and fight back.

People have too much to lose today to fight back. Ideas and basic principles are weak against the power of a "good" life, as it is right now in the US. Food, house, a job, a car, TV, broad band, all such things are weakening the idea of 'fighting to have our freedom back'. People must risk their life/job/comforts to fight, and right now it's very unlikely to happen.

What has to be done? Right now, nothing. Yes, nothing has to be done. It may sound strange, but the little we do to fight back, the less it will take to change things.
Right now, freedom is slowly going away. If we accelerate that, if we let it go, then we will have a better chance to still be *alive* when it will be time to fight back. Think about Ghandi. Non violence - just passive resistence. If we don't let this happen - it means, if we do little or nothing to stop this freedom-taking-away process, it will be our children's job to fight back and take their freedom. And it will be harder, because they will be somewhat used to a world where freedom is just a word in a history book glossary.

One thing that we *must* do right now is to *think*, and to be ready to propose *our* idea of a better world when things will collapse. We need to create the background, maybe to prepare the next generations from a philosophycally point of view, and give them enough ability to think by themselves to understand what's going on right now.

Nothing can be done right now to 'fight' back - the enemy is just too big, and too hidden into our routine to be taken away. But it will come a time when things will collapse due to many factors, and for that time there has to be someone with good plans ready to propose a better world than the one that was before.

I hope that limiting the freedom, the power and the creativity of the human brain will - on the long run - affect the power of the nation that is doing it at the present time.

What I'm gonna do right now? Just keep doing whatever my mind tells me it's right, using logical and reasonable argumets to demonstrate it. No instincts any more, just logic and reason.

Some day there will be a government based on logic, reason, and experience from history, and not based on lobbysm, private interests, and mass-manipulation.

I want to see that day.


-this article will surely be investigated by police, maybe anti-terrorism task forces, because I used words like 'weapon', 'freedom', 'fight-back' and so on. Let me say "hi" to everybody who is analyzing this text.. I know you're a human like me, and I know you have your brain. I trust you to use it. think about your childrens. you don't want them to be slaves, right?
