When you pledge your lives, your fortunes, and your sacred honor, not to secure liberty, but to secure promises of comfort based on a corrupt Ponzi scheme, your lives have less meaning and are less in your own hands, your fortunes dwindle in buying power and over-regulated personal ownership, and your honor no longer exists.

But generation to generation, change is not so noticeable. Humans, having a greater propensity and ability to adapt, find ways to be happy, to enjoy life in the circumstance to which they are born. Unfathomable things like trillions of dollars have no relation, no substance, seemingly, to their immediate, very flesh and blood real lives. They elect those other guys to take care of those complex things that no-one but "experts" can understand--government, business regulation, taxes, infrastructure, foreign relations, borders, and they seem to always do a good job. There's always some folks who complain about something, but none of it seems to make much sense, since things always wind up going along OK. Always doomsayers but no doom. Life is good.

What, me worry?
Great sum up of the sheep who believe that "it will never happen." As long as they get what the government "gives" them they don't care.
What me worry? As long as our leader Alfred E Newman plays golf during every crisis, including the one in Denmark, everything must be fine.
