Good talk Derrick. It's definitely getting scarier.

As far as taking action, that's a hard thing to get people to do. If I tell someone I will do something for $100 that will make them $1000 every month, and show them examples of having done it before, I don't get an easy yes.

I have to be very strategic in my approach, I have to say the right things the right way. I have to know that person, talk them a certain way.

"Drop everything, spend your hard-earned free time fighting the powers that be. Come stand outside with a sign and put your ass on the line."

Doesn't sound fun or profitable to me. You're expecting people to run on moral gasoline, which is a great way to be disappointed. The government understands that. They offer all kinds of goodies to do the wrong thing.

If people aren't doing it then they don't think it's worth their time, on a fundamental level. Or they don't think it's effective. The peace of mind of "I'm taking action" isn't enough for most people.

My point is that if people aren't acting, it's not because they don't take freedom seriously, it's because they DO take it seriously. They don't give up their time easily or freely. And they shouldn't.

The government is putting cancerous microwave cannons in front of every home, while cancer is at an epidemic level, in exchange for, "internet gets a little faster". Think about that.

The rules are the same for you and the government. Speak the right language if you want to communicate or influence action.
