Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance.

The key method used to get us to obey is fear. We are told that terrorist are using the internet now and we need to allow the FBI, and CIA to look at what we type just so that they can make sure we are not helping the enemy.
I feel we will be helping the enemy if we allow the government to violate our freedoms. This enemy is worst than any terrorist, This enemy was written about by George Orwell and called "BIG BROTHER". We do not need our government employees wasting their time keeping track of what I or you are typing on Facebook, or twitter. We don't need them spying on us, and wasting our tax dollars. It is not any of their business how much money I am sending or receiving on an international level as long as it does not go beyond the limits that have been set by law. You would think that after all these years of war on terrorism that all of the geniuses in Washington would have come up with some better strategies to deal with these issue, but I guess that is just to much to ask.
We need to let our voices and keyboards be heard, and let those officials know that they will not use fear to take anymore of our freedoms. Fear is the enemy, and we cannot allow it to invade our hearts and minds.
