Home of the brave?

I gave a copy of the movie 'Freedom to Fascism' to a few people I know. The common comment that I received was: "I am still going to pay my income taxes because I am afraid of the IRS."

We live in fear. We are no longer "the home of the brave" like our national anthem claims. We do things, not because they absolutely make sense to us but because we are afraid of what will happen if we don't conform.

Income taxes. Driver's License. Automobile registration. Social Security. Etc.

I am in the same boat.

However, I am getting closer and closer to throwing myself overboard and making my own boat or finding a better one.
