In George Orwell's classic novel 1984, one of the slogans used by the tyrannical government was, "Ignorance is Strength." The people's ignorance surely is to the benefit of the state because if the people are uniformed then the government can run a muck with out them public being any less the wiser. When the people are ignorant of the actions of the state then they can be herded and controlled into whatever the state demands of them.
It is because of this disturbing fact that have decided to pick up my pen against those who promote big government. I have decided to pledge my life to promoting the philosophy of liberty. Samuel Adams once said, “It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." The brush fires I hope to ignite are the brush fires of freedom, and I aim to spread that fire from sea to shining sea, until freedom becomes the law of the land
