“Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force. And like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
- George Washington
“When leaders become worshiped because of their perceived eloquence and “reasoned” approach to the issues at hand, then the force of their persuasion is soon translated into the force of tyranny and the servitude of the easily led.”
- Ken Wallace
Provided you actually believe that the future can be better than the present in any manner you desire, the question you face today is: In whom do you place your faith to provide a better future? The answer is critical to determining how much effort you’ll expend to make it so.
Freedom is the requisite circumstance that offers the means to materialize worthy aspirations and noble endeavors. Without it, nothing improves; everything becomes weighed down with the growing sense of futility. Why bother living when soon you’ll be dead? Such is the prevailing attitudes of a nation led by platitudinous, vacuous and self-important “leaders.”
We suffer at the hands of politicians. Where are the leaders? A leader doesn’t have to be elected in order to lead a nation effectively. Please, leaders, let us hear from you so we will finally have someone to follow rather than worship.
