A friend sent me the original preface to Animal Farm, which had been suppressed. Upon searching the WWW, I found a site with this and more:

While Orwell was speaking of freedom of the press, I sense the same problem on many levels -- people choose expediency over integrity in nearly all aspects of their lives without even thinking about it. As the Declaration of Independence states:

        "... all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

The United States government gave away ~$1T in 2008, and there's been hardly a whimper from the masses. This fact plus other events has brought me to the realization that when the Founding Fathers wrote "the pursuit of Happiness", they meant free enterprise. Without free enterprise, there can be no freedom. Free enterprise in the United States has been nearly replaced by a synthesis of communism and corporatism. Just ask anyone who owns a small business, or who has tried to operate one:

        "[The government] has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance."

Looking forward, we'll see what manufactured crises are used to persuade Americans (human beings?) into RFID implants, the North American Union, outlaw of coined money/ World fiat money, one World government, etc.. I am especially curious to see how they plan to disarm whatever fraction of 300M+ Americans that choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
