The Subtraction of Umoja: Why Building the Nation Means Shedding the Armor

The Subtraction of Umoja: Why Building the Nation Means Shedding the Armor Let’s stop lying to ourselves right at the front door.

Both of these option requires the user to do work either on the improvement of the tool, or to practice working with it (tool). We can not and should not give away our freedoms because we have been cut by them. We hav...
