25. What happened with trusting the citizens?
I'm aghast at the erosion of citizenship, that is has been reduced to
prisoner, where no longer are citizens trusted with their natural rights
to make choices for themselves.

15 Gallons of gasoline is a very big fire-bomb, and every person who
reaches the age of 16 is pretty much allowed to drive a firebomb anywhere
they want in america if they pass a little driving test.

It seems we trust citizens to not be suicidal, or the whole thing breaks
down. Yet, here we have a set of laws and precedents that presume that
people are not to be trusted with their own well being, as if we're all
clinicically bonkers and need to be kept away from razor blades for fear
that we might slit our own wrists.

The erosion itself creates a mental deviance that creates terrorism. The
erosion is "disenfranchisement" where people are stripped of their
citizenship, and their liberty to be represented by their government,
and reduced to house arrested illegal combatants.

How can the liberty innate in the human spirit not fight anything that
seeks to oppress it, even if that is the government of the land, seeking
in death by 1000 cuts, the loss of sovereign indivdiualism in to a
morass of irresponsible, murky, puerile legal views that we are not
our own masters.

I have never committed any crime whatsoever, i am not a criminal, i
should have every right to carry a nuke up the washington mall,
because we citizens are the terrorists they're at war with. We are
the flesh-puppets that the system seeks to encage, and one way or
another, the spirit of human freedom will take opposition to all its
oppressors and destroy them, whether the only weapon be time itself,
the ultimate bomb, that will erase all of humanity in 100 years.

Beware of the time bomb, God just pushed his big red button. :-)
