"Such anger and hate spews from Osbourne it is really quit scariy. He always has a ton of cut and paste nonsence from some web site to prove
to prove that it is always "us" against "them"
Often so wrong but never in doubt."
I say:
Yes, my anger resides very close under the surface in these times. Once finding many truths, behind allegations that were incredulous, preposterous, ridiculous claims of conspiracy, and then being able to PROVE all of the "circumstantial evidence" fits the bill, it is QUITE disheartening. Everyday, literally, I am amazed at how much the average person will take before lashing out at the blatant lies, propaganda and corruption that pollutes our system in its current form.
There is a quote, I think so perfectly describes exactly what I am saying....
``The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.''
-John Hay, 1872
Most people do not have occasion in their daily affairs to worry about dealing with the law, but now, as the invasion of civil liberties is reaching a fever pitch for national security, people are being subjected to more and more and finally starting to see what peaceful pot smokers have known for years. The system is hypocritical, biased, selective and no longer representative of the people, or the ideals of this nation.
It is maddening to examine a vegetable, a plant that grew, and still grows naturally around the world, and then imagine a logical, reason how our system could possibly build a case to outlaw "it" because "we" can't be trusted of our own volition to be "allowed" to use it in any way, shape or form. This becomes a more ridiculous folly for those who seek logic, as they research and investigate the origins of its illegalization. The documentable proof, the "evidence" used to build its entire foundation was racism, fear mongering, and outright LIES. Its effects have been repeatedly proven to be nothing comparable to the "claimed" effects its opponents claim to be fact. This all happened in 1937, and here you can check out some excerpts from the major promoter of criminalization, Harry Anslinger.
The following are excerpts of Mr. Anslinger's testimony before a Senate hearing on marijuana in 1937:
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others." "...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races." "Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death." "You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother." "Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."

Yes, my anger and rage are difficult to mask in todays world. I am not alone in thinking our forefathers would have long ago risen against this government that claims it represents liberty, and justice for all. I was born in the wrong time, or very much the right time, depending on what you hope the future holds. Regardless though, I am one man, yet one armed and educated man, and I refuse to conform to any system that does not play by its own rules, as this one is currently doing. I actively seek support of those who feel as I do, and seek to right our system through peaceful means, however as my duty as a citizen, I also prepare for the worst should its necessity arise.
``It is my right to be uncommon...if I can; I seek opportunity...not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stole calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, This I have done, and this is what it means to be an American.''
-Dean Alfrange
``If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.''
-Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.
