Letters From Occupied America

April 17
Dear Friends:
          I won't use any names, as you all know who you are.
        I have been thinking of parallels.  In our history and in our new lives here in the "Land  of the Free".
        It occurs to me that, in the time of the Revolution, there were supposedly only 3% of the population actively involved in the  fighting or "sedition". 
        The rest were either "Tories",  or Loyalist, OR they were just interested in living their lives without disturbance. 
         Meaning, they had jobs or businesses to take care of, families they were raising, farms to tend. 
         However they felt about the King and the British ruling them ,  they were not interested in getting involved in rebelling or anything that would endanger their "safe" way of life. 
         The parallel here is that, obviously, we have an identical situation here in Occupied America.  The majority of the population are hard at work earning a living, paying off the mortgage, saving for the college fund, paying for the shiny new pickup or the boat.  
         The rulers haven't  done anything serious  to them, so they don't want to make waves or draw attention to themselves.  
        They are willing to accept what they are told by the Mainstream Media about the state of the world and the country. 
        So, if everything is fine, why make such a fuss about every little violation of their rights?
        This is the situation we find ourselves in. Similar to the Jews in Europe when they decided to just keep their heads down and hope "everything will settle down". 
        Then, when it didn't "settle down", they with either left or boarded the boxcars for their last ride. 
    Think about other parallels and.... Stay tuned.
