People are necessarily social animals, and our ability to support our people is admirable. The enemies of humanity use our best features against us, and if we fail to use our best features to defend us from manipulation, we will succumb to our doom. Reason and integrity are among the best weapons we have to defend our lives and freedom, and it is sad to see folks abandon their most powerful guns instead of sticking by them.
"We're probably not quite at bottom yet."
I think we're a long way from it. I am not joking when I speak of burnings at the stake, torture, and execution. Assange's torture is yet concealed, and when we see such men publicly destroyed while crowds cheer, we may glimpse that abyss society can descend into before seeking the light of truth.
Thanks!
