Hello all,
I have a couple of things I wanted to throw out there and get some feedback from you folks.
I have been been pretty ornery lately and here is why...
Everywhere I go it seems someone wants to know who I am, where I'm going, what I made, where did I make it, where did I spend that money, what do I drive, our names and where we live, is my canoe registered, how many and what type guns do I have, is my home safe? Where do I work? etc. etc. etc. It could be nosy busy bodies at the store etc. or in most cases government institutions and corporate goons. I'm tired of it.
My wife gave birth to our son here in Ak and I didn't finish cutting the cord before papers were put in front of me "requiring" me to fill out our little guys application for a SSN #. What!? I told them no thanks, he doesn't need one at this time. The nurse insisted he did to qualify for his PFD (permanent fund dividend read oil money) and to get registered with the feds, to be able to travel etc. etc. she said I needed to do this. I refused again and told her to buzz off and let me enjoy my family in peace. She said she will notate my refusal and mentioned the PFD again to which I replied "we don't partake of the PFD" which we don't. She seemed pretty surprised at that.
My point being is where does it stop? My canoe has to be registered every two years because I have a 5HP motor on it to get up the river (I can't paddle a load of gear up against the current. Ridiculus! What if we are just in the middle of nowhere for a couple of years? I come back to town and have to dodge the troopers for fear of getting ticketed?
I needed to rant on this as I'm pretty sure I'm done jumping through hoops just to exist on this planet. I can't imagine we are here on this beautiful orb, to experience being human for an just an instant and that entails being tagged like cattle and our comings and goings documented to make sure we are paying our fare share. Is this what it's all about? I don't think so.
It seems the government is hell bent on control and people who are not in compliance or who want to be self reliant are being forced into the insanity that is the majority's reality. Poisoned food, decaying moral values, lack of purpose, pollution, mind numbing tv, heavy pharmacuticals dispensed like candy, living in constant media/gov't perpetuated fear and perpetual debt seem to be all the rage... not for us.
I find myself increasingly upset by what I hear or read and it gets my dander up a bit too much. I think I'm going to center myself and focus on living and raising my family up here for a bit and enjoy life without needing some ones permission to do so.
Thoughts?
