Entry: Goodbye to Politics Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/goodbye_to_politics#13564 Post contents: Most Americans don't believe in freedom because they don't know what it is. The powers that be take every opportunity to frighten people into letting them take away whatever freedoms yet remain. The bogeyman of the moment changes -- Nazis, commies, hippies, illegal immigrants, Muslims, whatever -- but the strategy is a constant, and it continues to be successful. It would be nice if Americans in general were skillful critical thinkers who could see through all this stuff and balance real threats against real losses of freedom in an intelligent way, but guess who controls the public education system in this country?
