More memory purging in my dreams last night. Is spiritual freedom so foreign that I must take tentative steps towards an open unbarred door into a world without keys? I am a little apprehensive at taking the reins of my own destiny of calling the shots about almost everything related to me. But since I am, I now say with a confidence never before displayed in a mortal being. I am immune to manipulation. Every decision that concerns me is mine to make.
If I want to walk right in to the police station and demand that they stop arresting people for drug possession. I'll do it. If I want to tell them that they are holding political prisoners because that is all the war on drugs is. A campaign promise gone too far, I'll do that to. If I also want to further inform them that the declaration of the War on Drugs was the equivalent of the prohibition of alcohol and for the same purpose. To popularize it. A political agenda that had the effect of costing millions of votes in the democratic process by declaring who ever possessed what the state deems a substantial amount as felons. I will gladly do so.
I would do it right now had I not thought that there are those among you that have taken control of your destiny as well and would gladly do it in my stead so that I may carry on the fight in every other aspect of the paradigm. By Our newly found independence alone we have earned the right to question, everything. Let us repel this assault on our common sensibilities. When did peace keeping become law enforcement? Let's help them understand the distinction. Let us take a cue from Gandhi and be passive yet aggressive. Just civilly discuss the issues troubling me, you, them and Us.
