RE: WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE "AMERICAN DREAM?" - A RANDOM RAMBLE FROM PAPA-PEPPER

in #freedom7 years ago

So true. Agree 100% Life is far more restrictive than it was 30 years ago. With further restrictions on life, comes a stagnation of growth as individuals and society as well. Our American dream is restricted. How many times over has free energy been invented or alternative fuels for travel? Why is disease going up, while nonprofits continue to collect hoping for cures? Why is more money spent on wars over resources rather than quality of life or education...peace. And why can't I have a chicken?! Of course, I know the answer to these questions because I've researched quite a bit - however, it is sad to learn how boxed in we are. I had to sit at the DMV the other day for 3 hours to renew my driver's license - this was because now everyone will need a Federal ID in order to travel 'domestically' What?! Life is quickly changing. You've probably already seen this video, but I always thought it very compelling and through-provoking. Amazing that it was in the 80's:

Wow, I just learned that you can't post a video with your comment at the same time :) Bye bye comment. It basically stated that I agree 100%. I feel these restrictions have caused stagnation of growth and caused a great deal of dependency and complacency. I also added that I had to wait 3 hours at the DMV the other day renewing my driver's license because you now have to get a Federal ID in order to travel domestically. Whoa! I declined, however, it will be mandatory by the end of the year.

Interesting. I'm not sure why you had that issue. Thanks for the input!
