No. 1 Threat to Our Country Is ...
RECEIVED Fri., Sept. 8, 2006
Dear Editor,
The No. 1 threat to our country is not any of the paper tigers people often rant about on these pages. The most dangerous threat is the tendency for some people to advocate totalitarianism, while fools stand idly by as our freedoms slip into oblivion. Certainly, few people actually realize they are even doing this. Only members of the power elite actually want this to occur. Everyone who has ever said "there ought to be a law" either prohibiting or requiring something of America's erstwhile free citizens is guilty of destroying freedom in America. Adults should be free to do whatever they think is best for them and their families, as long as they do not deprive others of the liberties guaranteed by our U.S. Constitution. Americans have that right, whether supported by the fools and demagogues in our governments or not. Anyone who wants to wear a helmet should be allowed to do so, but never required to do so. Anyone who tries to restrict or eliminate freedom for others is simply un-American. If we all do not actively work against the abuses of government, we will soon find that there is no freedom left to defend.
