Are we men and women with the ability to determine our own futures? Or are we trained animals and pets doing only what we are told to do and trusting that what we are told is what is best for us?
A trained seal will rise up and clap its flippers or do some trick if a fish is held up in front of its nose...sadly, there a lot of people who act that way today.
A dog, horse, bear, tiger, etc. will perform a trick, or series of them, for a treat. But each one of these trained animals could just as easily kill their masters. Why don’t they? Fear.
Now, some may disagree with that but being beaten is just one kind of punishment. Fear of loss of food or affection or other losses are also fears.
I’m sure everyone is aware the slave owners punished and beat their slaves. But were you aware that the masters (the few) instilled fear in their slaves (the many) because they were afraid of the slaves?
Yes, they were afraid that the many might rise up and easily defeat the few. That was a solid reason for telling them over and over that they were incapable of providing for themselves and the reason that slaves were rarely educated beyond what was necessary for communication and to do the tasks that were set before them.
We, the many, are being ruled by the few. We are being fed the same propaganda as those unfortunate humans of the past (slaves). We are constantly ‘educated’ that we need a big government to take care of our needs, we are incapable of doing anything for ourselves.
I’m not suggesting we overthrow our government and embrace anarchy. A civilized society needs government to function properly, but government should be small and limited.
We need to limit ours. The only way to do that is by amendments. We all know that Congress will never vote to limit itself. Fortunately, the Founders gave us a way to limit the federal government without their input or approval.
That way is the Convention of States, it’s the second part of Article V that the ill-informed are deathly afraid of (because they were told to be afraid of it by the tyrants who really are afraid of it).
We need a Convention of States now! Or trained animals we shall all become.
